Someone else described this as effected by endogenous attention but I’d also like to say for most adults today reading is basically autonomic. It’s something that took a lot of effort when you were young but try to not read any word put in front of your face. Short of averting or closing your eyes I bet you can’t. Same reason you can’t look at a cup without understanding it’s a cup is the same reason you can’t see the word cup without realizing what it says.
