Brain Activation during Masked and Unmasked Semantic Priming: Commonalities and Differences

Using fMRI during a lexical decision task, we investigated the neural correlates of semantic priming under masked and unmasked prime presentation conditions in a repeated measurement design of the same group of 24 participants (14 women). The task was to discriminate between pseudowords and words. Masked and unmasked prime words differed in their degree of semantic relatedness with target stimu...

Masked and unmasked priming effects as a function of semantic relatedness and associative strength.

The study presented in this paper aimed to investigate the pattern of semantic priming effects, under masked and unmasked conditions, in the lexical decision task, manipulating type of semantic relation and associative strength. Three different kinds of word relations were examined in two experiments: only-semantically related words [e.g., codo (elbow)-rodilla (knee)] and semantic/associative r...

A Cognitive Model of Positive and Negative Congruency Effects in Unmasked Priming: The Role of Attentional Limit and Conflict

Positive priming effect has been found with a short interval between the prime and the target, while negative priming effect (i.e., a congruent prime causes longer RTs) has been found with a long time between the prime and the target. Negative priming effect has been shown mainly using masked priming but some recent studies have shown it without masks (i.e., in unmasked or conscious conditions)...

The time-course of masked negative priming.

Negative priming (NP) refers to the finding that reaction times and errors increase when a previously ignored prime distractor is presented as a target. In a variant of this task, the prime display is composed of only a single masked distractor that is followed by the simultaneous presentation of a target and a distractor in the probe display. In one experiment, we explore the time-course of ma...
