Abstract
Typically, using motion primes in a response priming task results in positive compatibility effects (PCEs) with short stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) and negative compatibility effects (NCEs) with long SOAs. This pattern of a PCE-NCE switch is also known from masked priming. When combining masked static primes with a subsequent flanker target, Boy et al. found a flanker effect, a PCE as well as no interaction with the flanker effect in the short SOA and a flanker effect, an NCE and an interaction with the flanker effect in the long SOA. In the present study, we combined a response priming task using motion primes with subsequent static flanker targets. We observed pronounced flanker effects (1) independently of the compatibility between prime and target (with the smallest flanker effects after directionally neutral motion primes) and (2) independently of the SOA. Furthermore, there was a PCE in the short and no compatibility effect in the longer SOA. That is, partially different processes seem to be involved in masked response priming and response priming with motion primes.
期刊介绍:
Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling.
QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form.
The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
