Facilitation versus inhibition in non-spatial attribute discrimination tasks

Discrimination Between Mediated Facilitation and Mediated Inhibition Items

Dissociating inhibition of return from endogenous orienting of spatial attention: Evidence from detection and discrimination tasks.

In the present series of experiments, peripheral informative cues were used in order to dissociate endogenous and exogenous orienting of spatial attention using the same set of stimuli. For each block of trials, the cue predicted either the same or the opposite location of target appearance. Crucially, using this manipulation, both expected and unexpected locations could be either cued or uncue...

Spatial Correlations in Attribute Communities

Community detection is an important tool for exploring and classifying the properties of large complex networks and should be of great help for spatial networks. Indeed, in addition to their location, nodes in spatial networks can have attributes such as the language for individuals, or any other socio-economical feature that we would like to identify in communities. We discuss in this paper a ...

Constructive Memory: Interference and Facilitation Effects in Multi-attribute Advertising

Burke and Srull (1988) find that when people view two different ads for the same brand, the first ad interferes with memory for the product attribute information in the second ad (i.e., proactive interference) and the second ad interferes with memory for the product attribute information in the first ad (i.e., retroactive interference). The implication is that brands needing to communicate info...

Training on integrated versus separated Stroop tasks: the progression of interference and facilitation.

Two experiments examined the course of interference and facilitation in the Stroop (1935) task during training. Two versions of the task were compared: integrated (e.g., the word RED in the color green) and separated (e.g., green asterisks above the word RED). Stimuli were congruent (RED in red), incongruent (GREEN in red), or neutral (XXX in red). Over 5-day (Experiment 1) and 10-day (Experime...
