Is the Negative Priming Effect a Reliable Measure of Individual Differences in Cognitive Inhibition?Summary: In cognitive psychology negative priming (NP) experiments were developed to assess inhibitory functions. NP, defined as a slowed reaction on ...
Are There Really No Age Differences in Negative Priming?Abstract: A slowdown in reaction time on items that have been previously ignored is called negative priming (NP). In a recent metaanalysis Gamboz, Russo and Fox (2002) concluded that there are no ...
Individual differences in cognitive inhibition and their relation to failures of attentionAbstract. Everyday failures of attention include a wide range of failures of action, memory, and perception. Corresponding individual differences may be measured by ...
Abstract. Reactions to recently ignored stimuli are slowed down or more error prone when compared to reactions to control stimuli. This so-called negative priming effect has been traditionally investigated in the area of selective attention. More recent ...
Abstract. Two experiments were conducted that examined the influence of distractor-only prime trials on the “location” negative priming (NP) effect. In all experiments, the probe trial always lacked a distractor. We showed that the predictable absence of ...
Abstract. The literature yields inconsistent evidence for negative priming (NP) following masked distractor-only prime trials. We contrast two different hypotheses on the inconsistent findings: one - which is most compatible with the temporal ...
Abstract. Negative priming (NP) refers to increased response time (RT) for a probe target that was a distractor in a preceding prime presentation (distractor-target shift, DT), compared to novel targets. The present study used the lateralized readiness ...
In the paradigm of repeated masked semantic priming (Wentura & Frings, 2005), prime and mask are repeatedly and rapidly interchanged. Using this technique in a semantic priming task with category labels as primes and category exemplars as targets (related,...
Negative priming refers to delayed responses to previously ignored distractors. Unlike conventional studies of negative priming in which the attentional selection of a target against its distractors is required in prime trials (prime-selection negative ...
In a recent debate concerning the origin of the negative priming (NP) effect, evidence for the involvement of retrieval processes during the prime episode has accumulated. Rothermund, Wentura, and De Houwer (2005) explain the effect as a product of a ...
Negative priming with auditory as well as with visual stimuli has been shown to involve the retrieval of prime response information as evidenced by an increase of prime response errors to the probes of ignored repetition trials compared to control trials. ...
The hypothesis that retrieval of the prime response is responsible for the negative priming (NP) effect has gained popularity in recent studies of visual identity NP. In the current study we report an experiment in which we aimed to remove the response ...
The visual environment consists of global structures (e.g., a forest) made up of local parts (e.g., trees). When compound stimuli are presented (e.g., large global letters composed of arrangements of small local letters), the global unattended information ...
