摘要

标准的做法是使用意识测量来评估参与者对次优刺激的感知。然而,在掩蔽引物研究中,对刺激感知的评估是一个棘手的问题;什么是参与者有意识的 "感知",什么是评估感知的最佳方法,这些都没有标准可循。尽管如此,研究人员还是会根据 "意识 "的特异性操作方法和测试意识的非标准化做法来声称被试(未)意识到。这种非标准化的做法可能会导致基于错误假设的虚假结论。当前的研究通过提请人们注意操作定义和任务如何影响实验结果,为正在进行的关于该领域方法论的讨论增添了新的内容。文章简要讨论了意识的概念,介绍了在三次尝试中测试意识的工作,每次尝试都使用了不同的常用意识测量方法,从而得出了不同的实证结论,最后文章讨论了如何选择一种能反映研究目标的意识测量方法。

Ignorance Is Not Bliss: On Issues Measuring the Awareness of Suboptimal Stimuli
It is standard practice to assess participants’ perception of suboptimal stimuli by using an awareness measure. Yet the assessment of stimulus awareness is a difficult issue in masked priming studies; there is no standard for what constitutes participants’ conscious “awareness” nor what measure is best to assess awareness. Nonetheless, researchers make claims of participant (un)awareness based on idiosyncratic operationalizations of “awareness” and unstandardized practices for testing awareness. This unstandardized practice can lead to spurious conclusions based on faulty assumptions. The current work adds to an ongoing discussion on the methodology of the field by drawing attention to how operational definitions and tasks impact the results obtained from experiments. The concept of awareness is briefly discussed, work testing awareness across three attempts is presented, each using different oft-employed awareness measures that render different empirical conclusions, and finally the article discusses choosing an awareness measure that reflects one's research goal.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
