Unconscious information processing in executive control
This Frontiers Research Topic includes original experimental studies and reviews on unconscious processing in executive control. Executive control refers to the ability of the human brain—mostly associated with prefrontal cortex activity—to regulate the execution of novel or complex goal-directed tasks. Previous studies and models of human cognition have assumed that executive control necessari...
متن کاملExecutive control over unconscious cognition: attentional sensitization of unconscious information processing
Unconscious priming is a prototypical example of an automatic process, which is initiated without deliberate intention. Classical theories of automaticity assume that such unconscious automatic processes occur in a purely bottom-up driven fashion independent of executive control mechanisms. In contrast to these classical theories, our attentional sensitization model of unconscious information p...
متن کاملThe pervasive nature of unconscious social information processing in executive control
Humans not only have impressive executive abilities, but we are also fundamentally social creatures. In the cognitive neuroscience literature, it has long been assumed that executive control mechanisms, which play a critical role in guiding goal-directed behavior, operate on consciously processed information. Although more recent evidence suggests that unconsciously processed information can al...
متن کاملUnconscious vision and executive control: how unconscious processing and conscious action control interact.
Research on unconscious or unaware vision has demonstrated that unconscious processing can be flexibly adapted to the current goals of human agents. The present review focuses on one area of research, masked visual priming. This method uses visual stimuli presented in a temporal sequence to lower the visibility of one of these stimuli. In this way, a stimulus can be masked and even rendered inv...
متن کاملEarly and late selection in unconscious information processing.
In four experiments, we investigated whether masked stimuli in priming experiments are subjected to early or to late selection. In Experiment 1, participants classified four target-pictures as being small or large. In line with early selection accounts, prime-pictures with a different perceptual appearance as the experienced targets did not elicit congruency effect. In Experiment 2, 40 targets ...
