Oneunresolved issue is whether differences in detection times reflect unconscious or conscious processing. To answer this question, here we introduce a novel approach (reverse-bCFS [rev-bCFS]) that measures the time an initially visible stimulus requires to be suppressed from awareness. Results from two experiments using face stimuli indicate that rev-bCFS can capture conscious effects, which indicates that contrasting standard bCFS with rev-bCFS can isolate unconscious processing occurring specifically during bCFS. For example, while face inversion impacted both bCFS and rev-bCFS, effects were larger in bCFS, suggesting a distinct contribution of unconscious processing to the advantage of upright over inverted faces in accessing awareness. Combining standard bCFS and rev-bCFS may offer a fruitful approach to disentangle conscious and unconscious effects occurring during interocular suppression.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103830"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143437404","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}

Here, we further investigated this relationship by focusing on subjective experiences of curiosity and reward. Our paradigm required learning of face-name associations followed by probing of name recall and FOK experiences on unsuccessful trials. Subsequently, participants rated their curiosity (Experiment 1) or made information-seeking choices and rated their satisfaction upon completion (Experiment 2). Results showed, as predicted, that FOK experiences correlate with subjective ratings of curiosity as well as information-seeking choices. Critically, we found they are also positively correlated with satisfaction reported upon exposure to sought information.

While this approach has significantly advanced scientific progress, it can confuse interpretation of research findings due to its inherent circularity: consistency will always appear to be a defining characteristic of synesthesia so long as it is also an inclusion criterion for synesthesia studies.

In four experiments, we find that: (1) the optimal consistency cutoff score differs across languages; (2) self-reported synesthetes that “fail” consistency tests can still behave like synesthetes – to our knowledge the first objective evidence that “inconsistent synesthesia” is a genuine phenomenon; (3) Using self-report as the sole inclusion criterion does not significantly change the effect size of two measures of synesthetic behavior (the synesthetic Stroop and synesthetic color Palette); and (4) Consistency influences Stroop effect size in self-reported synesthetes only, but influences the Palette in both synesthetes and non-synesthete controls.

Contrary to previous research, we did not require participants to internalise parameters of an arbitrary prior distribution. We instead used a novel psychophysical paradigm leveraging probability distributions of low-level image features in natural scenes, which are well-known to influence perception. Participants reported the subjective upright of naturalistic image patches, <em>targets</em>, and then reported their confidence in their orientation responses. We used computational modelling to relate the statistics of the low-level features in the targets to the average distribution of these features across many naturalistic images, a <em>prior</em>. Our results showed that participants’ perceptual and importantly, their confidence judgments aligned with an internalised prior for image statistics. Overall, our study highlights the importance of naturalistic task designs that capitalise on existing, long-term priors to further understand the computational basis of confidence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 103818"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048558","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}

To investigate this, we conducted two studies comparing thinking aloud to thinking silently. In Study 1, 111 participants alternated between 15-minute intervals of verbalizing and silently reflecting on their stream of consciousness in a counterbalanced design. A subset also reported topic shifts intermittently via self- and probe-catching methods. Results showed that the stream of consciousness was minimally reactive to the Think Aloud protocol, with no significant differences in meta-awareness and topic shifting rates. Moreover, among 21 thought qualities and 18 content topics analyzed, only three qualities (private thoughts, mind blanking, and session difficulty) and one topic (partner, intimacy, love, and sexual matters) differed between Think Aloud and Silent Think. In Study 2, 102 participants either did Think Aloud or Silent Think while responding to thought probes. Findings replicated the lack of differences in the frequency and meta-awareness of topic shifts between Think Aloud and Silent Think. Furthermore, no differences in reported cognitive load were observed between the two conditions.
