知覺脈絡對負向促發效果的影響(2/2)

The present study investigated the
influence of perceptual context in negative
priming. The first series of the experiments
examined the roles of integrated representations
in location negative priming. The results
showed that location negative priming
manifests only when both the object features
and the location feature were highly activated
such that the integrated representations of the
distractors were competitive in selecting a
target. The second series of experiments
examined via a matching task the effect of
perceptual similarity between the primes and
probes on the negative priming effect. The
results showed that distractors must be
competitive in selection via the integration of
color and shape and also prime-probe couplets
were similar in color composition. The results
from the present project suggested that
integrated representations must be in high
activation so that distractors impose high
competition in target selection. The inhibition
operates on the goal-derived feature and the
inhibited representations rely on memory
retrieval to reveal negative priming.
