The number 747 is named faster after seeing Boeing than after seeing Levi's: Associative priming in the processing of multidigit Arabic numerals.

چکیده
Two experiments are reported in which naming multidigit Arabic numerals was shown to depend on the context in which the numbers were presented. Number naming and number decisions were faster after an associative prime (e.g., 747 preceded by the word Boeing) than after an unrelated prime, both in unmasked and masked priming conditions. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that number naming is not always based on a quantity-based semantically mediated pathway.

Naming two-digit arabic numerals: evidence from masked priming studies.
The authors investigated how 2-digit Arabic numerals are named by looking at the effects of masked primes on the naming latencies. Target numerals were named faster when prime and target shared a digit at the same position (e.g., the target 28 primed by 18 and 21). In contrast, naming latencies were slower when prime and target shared 1 or 2 digits at non-corresponding places (e.g., the target ...
متن کاملControlling attention through action: observing actions primes action-related stimulus dimensions.
Previous findings suggest that planning an action "backward-primes" perceptual dimension related to this action: planning a grasp facilitates the processing of visual size information, while planning a reach facilitates the processing of location information. Here we show that dimensional priming of perception through action occurs even in the absence of active action planning. Subjects watched...

متن کاملThe Integration of internal and External Information in Numerical Tasks
Numerical tasks with Arabic numerals involve the integration of internal and external information and the interaction between perception and cognition. 2-digit number comparison task was selected to study these integration and interaction processes. To compare the magnitudes of two 2digit Arabic numerals, we can (1) compare them digitbydigit sequentially, (2) compare corresponding digits in par...
متن کاملSubliminal Priming in Subtracting One-Digit Arabic Numbers
Background: Based on the studies which have investigated conscious and unconscious processes, simple arithmetic operations such as addition and multiplication can be automatically processed in the brain and affect subsequent responses. However, most studies have focused on addition and multiplication of one-digit numbers. In this research we used subliminal priming paradigm to assess automatic ...
