Persistence of negative priming: Steady state or decay?

摘要: Responses to recently ignored stimuli may be slower and less accurate than responses new stimuli. Neill Westberry (1987) found that such negative priming effects dissipated within a 2-s interval between response the next stimulus, response-stimulus (RSI). However, experiments by Tipper, Weaver, Cameron, Brehaut, Bastedo (1991) persisted unchanged over RSIs from 1,350 6,600 ms. Our used letter-matching procedure in which target letters were flanked irrelevant letters. Negative was manifested longer reaction times more errors had appeared as flankers preceding trial. RSI varied 500 8,000
