No Negative Priming Effect in the Manual Stroop Task

Attentional Uncertainty in the Stroop Priming Task

Emotional priming effects during Stroop task performance

The ability to make decisions within an emotional context requires a balance between two functionally integrated neural systems that primarily support executive control and affective processing. Several studies have demonstrated effects of emotional interference presented during an ongoing cognitive task, but it is unclear how activating the emotional circuitry prior to a cognitive task may enh...

Stroop interference and negative priming (NP) suppression in normal aging.

Age-related differences in the reduction of Stroop interference were explored by comparing the performance of 18 younger (of mean age: 30.0±3.9 years) and 18 older healthy adults (of mean age: 75±7.2 years) in a color-word Stroop task. The aim of this study was to determine whether a decrease in the efficiency of inhibitory mechanisms associated with aging could account for age-related differen...

Color Stroop and negative priming in schizophrenia: an fMRI study.

Disturbances in selective attention represent a core characteristic of schizophrenia, whose neural underpinnings have yet to be fully elucidated. Consequently, we recorded brain activation using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while 15 patients with schizophrenia and 15 age-matched controls performed a well-established measure of selective attention-the color Stroop negative primin...

Subsidiary analysis of different Stroop-embedded negative priming trials.

In his commentary, MacLeod (2011) presents a rich testing ground for elucidating how suggestion may operationalize attention. The effects of posthypnotic suggestions on Stroop performance raise theoretical questions regarding the nature of the underlying mechanisms. Beyond the methodological designs outlined by MacLeod, one way to address these questions is to examine data from embedded Stroop ...
