Target-to-target repetition cost and location negative priming are dissociable: Evidence for different mechanisms.

Abstract

In a location-selection task, the repetition of a prior distractor location as the target location would slow down the response. This effect is termed the location negative priming (NP) effect. Recently, it has been demonstrated that repetition of a prior target location as the current target location would also slow down response. Because such target-to-target repetition cost is similar to the phenomenon of inhibition of return (IOR), the possibility of a common mechanism underlying target-to-target repetition cost, location NP, and IOR has been proposed. The current study evaluated this hypothesis by combining a spatial-cuing task with a location NP task. The results of three experiments demonstrated that although IOR interacted with target-to-target repetition cost, there was no interaction between IOR and location NP. These findings suggest that target-to-target repetition cost is more likely to share a common mechanism with IOR, and target-to-target repetition cost and location NP should be attributed to different processes.

Negative priming for target selection with saccadic eye movements

“…One common feature of the current experiments was the presentation of a single object (target, distracter or new object) in the probe display. This was a reasonable procedure given the extensive previous evidence that negative priming with eye-movement and manual responses is often evident with a single item in the probe display, and that a distracter is not essential for the negative priming effect to emerge (Milliken, Tipper, Houghton & Lupianez, 2000;Crawford et al, 2005;Chao 2009Chao , 2011. Within the context of eye-tracking studies a single item in the probe display enables automatic responses and eliminates any confusion about which target or distracter object is to be selected for the saccade.…”

“…Bu bulgu, çalışma öncesi öngörülen katılımcıların örtük bellek temsili geliştirip hedef uyaranın yer alacağı konumu yordaması hipotezine zıt düşmektedir. Bunun sebebi olarak literatürde bulunan tekrar kaynaklı tepki süresinde görülen yavaşlama etkisi gösterilebilir (Anderson ve Folk, 2012;Chao, 2011). Ayrıca, geri dönüş ketlemesi kuramı da dikkatin yeni hedef uyaran lokasyonuna yöneltilmesi durumuna Psikoloji Çalışmaları -Studies in Psychology açıklık getirmiştir (Klein ve MacInnes, 1999;Pan, Wu ve Zhang, 2017;Posner ve Cohen, 1984).…”

“…Bu kavrama göre, katılımcılar daha önceden gördükleri uyaranın lokasyonuna yakın bir lokasyondaki uyarana maruz kaldıklarında tepkilerinde bir gecikme meydana gelecektir, çünkü katılımcılar eski alan yerine yeni bir alana dikkatlerini yönelteceklerdir (Itti ve Koch, 2001;Kingstone ve Pratt, 1999;Klein, 2000). Chao (2011) (Egeth, 1977;Eriksen ve James, 1986); ancak bulgular bu hipotezi desteklememektedir.…”
