However, it has not been directly tested whether unconsciously activated task sets also need to be reconfigured when switching to a new task, as has been shown for consciously triggered task sets. To test whether unconsciously activated task sets are subject to inhibitory processes, we measured n-2 repetition costs following masked cue presentation in a task switching design. We furthermore simultaneously assessed event-related potentials (ERPs) to gain additional insights into task set reconfiguration processes. Results showed that task sets were inhibited following the presentation of an unmasked task cue, as reflected by n-2 repetition costs. Furthermore, a cue-locked positivity ERP component indicated that task sets were reconfigured following both mere task preparation and task execution. In contrast, no evidence for a reconfiguration of unconsciously activated task sets was observed following masked cue presentation in either measure. Thus, task set reconfiguration, including the inhibition of a task set, is likely tied to conscious task set activation, suggesting that an unconscious process – once initiated – is not terminated by inhibitory processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103850"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143642997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People can experience “vicarious” SoA towards other agents, either other humans or artificial agents such as robots. A commonly used measure of implicit SoA is the Intentional Binding (IB) effect, which is stronger when the action is voluntary, relative to involuntary. However, it remains unclear whether this is true also for vicarious SoA. Thus, in three experiments, participants performed an IB task alone and with another agent, namely with another human (Experiment 1) or with the humanoid robot iCub (Experiments 2 and 3). The co-agents’ actions were presented as voluntary or involuntary- triggered by a mechanical device. Participants reported the time of occurrence of self-generated actions, as well as the other’s human actions (Experiment 1), the robot actions (Experiment 2) or robot outcomes (Experiment 3). Experiment 1 showed that both self- and vicarious IB occurred only when the actions were voluntary. In Experiment 2, IB for self-actions occurred only when voluntary, but vicarious IB over iCub’s actions occurred irrespective of whether the action was presented as “voluntary” or “involuntary”. Experiment 3 showed that IB over tone outcomes occurred for self-generated and robot actions. Our findings suggest that voluntariness of actions plays a role in the emergence of the IB affect (and, by extension, of SoA) only if predictive processes are at play. They also indicate that vicarious IB for robots is based on postdictive processes, and this, perceived voluntariness of the robot actions does not modulate the vicarious IB effect for robots.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103835"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study directly examined the link between temporal action-effect prediction and auditory sensory attenuation, alongside assessing self-reported agency. Participants experienced self-initiated auditory effects with varying latencies and compared their loudness to a reference tone, whose intensities were modulated to measure auditory discrimination. Results showed no change in perceived loudness across delays, while agency ratings decreased with longer delays. A second experiment controlled for hazard rate effects, confirming initial findings. Our results contrast previous behavioral findings from the tactile modality and conclusions drawn from auditory electroencephalography.

Using a crossover design, 34 participants (17 females, 17 males; avg. age 32.2, SD = 8.8) were randomized to 60 min of Floatation-REST or Bed-REST (a control condition on a waterbed). Floatation-REST induced significantly weaker body boundaries, significantly stronger time distortion, and significantly greater relaxation. Post-exposure, participants reported a significantly stronger afterglow, significantly more state mindfulness, and significantly greater interoceptive awareness.

Based on conceptual analysis and previous empirical data, we identify five states: focus, task-related interference, external distraction, daydream, and blank. We ask the question whether this classification (the Classification of Mental States − CoMS-5T) − provides an adequate partition of mental states. To do so, first, we rely on participants’ free verbal reports of their mental contents, that were then classified off-line by external raters. We provide evidence for the construct validity of the CoMS-5T and for its neutrality, in the sense that it does bias participants’ reports. Second, we provide evidence for the criterion validity of the CoMS-5T: by means of a reanalysis of a large data set made available by <span><span>Beikmohamadi and Meier (2022)</span></span>, we find distinct behavioural signatures for four of the five states in the CoMS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103828"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
