Unconscious processing of dichoptically masked words.
In three experiments, the subjects' task was to decide whether each of a series of words connoted something good (e.g., fame, comedy, rescue) or bad (stress, detest, malaria). One-half second before the presentation of each such target word, an evaluatively polarized priming word was presented briefly to the nondominant eye and was masked dichoptically by either the rapidly following (Experimen...
متن کاملNo negative semantic priming from unconscious flanker words in sight.
In replicating 1 of the within-language conditions of E. Fox's (1996) Experiment 1, the authors confirmed that unattended words presented 2.4 degrees above and below fixation are mostly unavailable to awareness. However, no negative semantic priming was observed in a lexical decision on a probe letter string appearing about 1 s later, which does not replicate Fox's finding. These results are co...
متن کاملSemantic processing of previews within compound words.
Previous studies have suggested that previews of words prior to fixation can be processed orthographically, but not semantically, during reading of sentences (K. Rayner, D. A. Balota, & A. Pollatsek, 1986). The present study tested whether semantic processing of previews can occur within words. The preview of the second constituent of 2-constituent Finnish compound nouns was manipulated. The pr...
متن کاملHow semantic is unconscious semantic integration? A visual masking study
Consciousness’ role in high-level semantic integration is still unclear. Here, we presented masked pairs of images, which could be unrelated (e.g., a broken plate and an eagle), associatively related (e.g., a broken plate and a fork) or abstractly related (e.g., a broken plate and a fighting couple). Low-level features of the pairs were controlled for. In each trial, a masked pair (prime) was f...
متن کاملSemantic Underspecification & Pragmatic Interpretation of Polysemous Adjectives
Polysemous adjectives seem to make irregular contributions to the meaning of adjective-noun phrases. This thesis provides a systematic explanation of this problem. Polysemous adjectives are considered semantically underspecified. The underspecified semantic meaning has to be pragmatically enriched with due consideration of world-knowledge and linguistic context. The treatment follows Blutner’s ...
