Assessing negative priming by attended distractors in a paper-and-pencil task.
The paper-and-pencil digit-comparison task for assessing negative priming (NP) was introduced, using a referent-size-selection procedure that was demonstrated to enhance the effect. NP is indicated by slower responses to recently ignored items, and proposed within the clinical-experimental framework as a major cognitive index of active suppression of distracting information, critical to executi...
متن کاملAssessing dual-task performance using a paper-and-pencil test: normative data.
Although several studies have described dual-tasking ability in normal aging, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's disease, no normative data for dual-task performance exist. Dual-tasking ability of 436 healthy individuals, aged 16-88 years, was assessed using a new paper-and-pencil dual-task paradigm. In this study, no age effect was detected, providing strong evidence that age does not a...
متن کاملNegative Priming in a Joint Selection Task
Recent studies have suggested that the observation of another individual executing a movement activates representations of the observed movement in the observer. These representations are thought to be used by other systems to facilitate a variety of social cognitive processes, such as social searches. Previous research on social searches has primarily involved contexts where targets were prese...
متن کاملNegative versus positive priming: When are distractors inhibited?
Visual attention is guided not only by top-down and bottom-up factors, such as task demands or visual saliency, but also by the history of previous selections. Attention is deployed with higher likelihood to stimuli that share features with those previously attended to. In visual search, this is most evident from the effects of recent search trials on the current one: Finding a target on a curr...
متن کاملNegative priming effects that are bigger than a breadbox: attention to distractors does not eliminate negative priming, it enhances it.
In a series of experiments, we examined the effect of requiring subjects to attend to distractors in a test of negative priming. This was accomplished by using a referent size-selection task in which subjects were instructed to name the larger animal and to ignore the smaller animal in a word pair. The result was a quadrupling of the standard negative priming effect, suggesting that negative pr...
