“…However, in all other studies expertise-related stimuli such as the own face (Pannese and Hirsch, 2010), the own name (Pfister et al, 2012), pictures of athletic jumps (Güldenpenning et al, 2011), chess configurations (Kiesel et al, 2009), and words in the mother tongue (Schoonbaert et al, 2009) were used to demonstrate expertise-related lager congruence effects. In the present study we used drawn pictures of animals as stimuli that can be assumed to be of equal familiarity for VGPs and NVGPs.…”

Gaming to see: action video gaming is associated with enhanced processing of masked stimuli

Recent research revealed that action video game players outperform non-players in a wide range of attentional, perceptual and cognitive tasks. Here we tested if expertise in action video games is related to differences regarding the potential of shortly presented stimuli to bias behavior. In a response priming paradigm, participants classified four animal pictures functioning as targets as being smaller or larger than a reference frame. Before each target, one of the same four animal pictures was presented as a masked prime to influence participants' responses in a congruent or incongruent way. Masked primes induced congruence effects, that is, faster responses for congruent compared to incongruent conditions, indicating processing of hardly visible primes. Results also suggested that action video game players showed a larger congruence effect than non-players for 20 ms primes, whereas there was no group difference for 60 ms primes. In addition, there was a tendency for action video game players to detect masked primes for some prime durations better than non-players. Thus, action video game expertise may be accompanied by faster and more efficient processing of shortly presented visual stimuli.

“…Traditionally, self-recognition is measured using self-other detection tasks, self-other morphing tasks, (where participants stop a video morph between self and other when it looks more like “me”), or masked priming tasks where reaction times are compared between self and other related primes (Bredart, 2004; Devue and Bredart, 2008; Devue et al, 2009; Frassinetti et al, 2008; Heinisch et al, 2011; Keenan et al, 2000; Keenan et al, 1999; Kircher et al, 2001; Pannese and Hirsch, 2010, 2011; Rotshtein et al, 2005; Tsakiris, 2008). All of these methods converge on the notion of a self-bias, with self-stimuli being more salient and processed faster.…”

“…Contextual effects have been known for some time to significantly influence self-recognition. Indeed, self-related primes in one domain can decrease reaction times in self-other recognition tasks in another (Pannese and Hirsch, 2010; Platek et al, 2004). This effect is still apparent when the self-related priming stimuli are masked and therefore not consciously perceived (Pannese and Hirsch, 2011).…”

Recognising and representing one's self as distinct from others is a fundamental component of self-awareness. However, current theories of self-recognition are not embedded within global theories of cortical function and therefore fail to provide a compelling explanation of how the self is processed. We present a theoretical account of the neural and computational basis of selfrecognition that is embedded within the free-energy account of cortical function. In this account one's body is processed in a Bayesian manner as the most likely to be "me". Such probabilistic representation arises through the integration of information from hierarchically organised unimodal systems in higher-level multimodal areas. This information takes the form of bottom-up "surprise" signals from unimodal sensory systems that are explained away by top-down processes that minimise the level of surprise across the brain. We present evidence that this theoretical perspective may account for the findings of psychological and neuroimaging investigations into self-recognition and particularly evidence that representations of the self are malleable, rather than fixed as previous accounts of self-recognition might suggest.

“…Moreover, self-related information can also be preferentially identified in the condition of subliminal priming. When primes displayed for 33 ms (peri-liminal), even primes displayed for 17 ms, there was a significant difference only in reaction time of self-target faces, compared to the nonself-target faces (Pannese and Hirsch, 2010). Compared to other-related information, the self-related information also reflected the automatic, unintentional, unconscious, and uncontrolled aspects of attention capture (Alexopoulos et al, 2012).…”

Self-Referential Processing Can Modulate Visual Spatial Attention Deficits in Children With Dyslexia

Considerable research has shown that children with dyslexia have deficits in visual spatial attention orientation. Additionally, self-referential processing makes self-related information play a unique role in the individual visual spatial attention orientation. However, it is unclear whether such self-referential processing impacts the visual spatial attention orientation of children with dyslexia. Therefore, we manipulated the reference task systematically in the cue-target paradigm and investigated the modulation effect of self-referential processing on visual spatial attention of children with dyslexia. In the self-referential processing condition, we observed that children with dyslexia demonstrated stable cue effects in the visual spatial attention orientation tasks when the Stimulus Onset Asynchronies (SOAs) were set to 100 ms, while other-referential processing weakened the cue effects of the visual spatial attention orientation of children with dyslexia. With cue effect as the index, we also observed that the self-referential processing had a significant larger regulatory effect at the early stage of visual spatial attention orientation, as compared with other-referential processing. These differences have a high-ranked consistency between children with dyslexia and typically developing reader. The results suggested that self-referential processing can regulate the visual spatial attention deficits of children with dyslexia.
