  • Temporal interactions between target and distractor processing: Positive and negative priming effects Juan Botella María Isabel Barriopedro James F. Joula Psicología The flankers paradigm and the prime/probe paradigm for the study ofpositive and negative priming are based on the compatibility betweenrelevant and irrelevant information present in the same stimuli or stimulithat are spatially or temporally contiguous. In the flankers paradigm,distractors presented at the same time as the target can produce enhancedperformance for compatible flankers and impaired performance forincompatible ones. In the priming paradigm, distractors can facilitate orinterfere with responses to compatible targets that are presented later. In theexperiments described here we have achieved a gradual transition betweenthese two paradigms, through the use of the Rapid Serial VisualPresentation (RSVP) procedure, by manipulating distractor compatibilityand the temporal spacing between distractors and targets. With short SOAscompatible distractors facilitate and incompatible distractors interfere; butwith SOAs around 400 ms performance is worse with compatible than withincompatible distractors. Similar results have been obtained either withparadigms in which participants must make a response to the stimulus thatproduces the effect (it is a target) or with paradigms where they do not haveto make a response (it is a distractor). The present results provide strongconstraints on theoretical explanations for the flanker compatibility effectand the temporal dynamics of positive and negative priming. 2002 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16923207 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.2 Vol.23
