The finding that responses to target stimuli are slowed down if these were distractors in the foregoing trial is known as negative priming (NP). In three experiments, the size of NP effects was influenced by the proportion of target-to-target and distractor-to-target repetitions of the previous block. A higher number of target-to-target repetitions in a previous practice block increased NP effects in an experimental block, in which the standard distribution of priming conditions usually condu...The finding that responses to target stimuli are slowed down if these were distractors in the foregoing trial is known as negative priming (NP). In three experiments, the size of NP effects was influenced by the proportion of target-to-target and distractor-to-target repetitions of the previous block. A higher number of target-to-target repetitions in a previous practice block increased NP effects in an experimental block, in which the standard distribution of priming conditions usually conducted in NP experiments was used. In contrast, a higher number of distractor-to-target repetitions in the previous practice block decreased NP effects in a consecutive standard experimental block. Given such a design, this modulation of NP could not be explained in terms of local sequence effects on a trial-by-trial basis. Instead, experiment-wide contextual factors contribute to the proportion modulation of NP.» weiterlesen» einklappen
