The complexity of cognitive process of foreign language words perception and memorization is described and reasoned. The author describes the principal difference between native and foreign language learning processes. In the empirical part of this research two important aspects in the cognitive functioning of human mind by the perception of meanings of new lexical units are examined and analyzed. The mentioned process is reflected as the part of general activity in foreign language teaching. The first practical paradigm of this research presents the search of most convenient functional relation between right and left human brain parts for foreign language lexical units’ perception. The second practical paradigm of this research is dedicated to the description of synesthesia phenomenon and its influence to the process of creation of cognitive connections between physical objects of reality and their verbal analogues in the human mind. The researcher managed to define the interesting fact, that functional equality between the left and right parts of human brain can be regarded as the most convenient condition for the effective memorization of foreign language lexical system. The second important result is the practical validation of the synesthesia phenomenon and it’s influence on the process of new nominations creation for unknown objects. The work out of methods, which could make the described phenomenon to serve as the supporting mechanism for learning of foreign lexical units, would be a good perspective for future researches.
