A STUDY ON NEGATIVE PRIMING EFFECT IN SELECTIVE ATTENTION
对选择注意中负启动效应的研究

Negative priming effect of distractor in selective attention was investigated by Arabic or Chinese digit naming tasks. When stressing the accuracy of digit naming, the priming effect of distractor was negative; positive priming effect was found when stressing the reaction speed. The results suggested that the activation state of distractors is a critical factor to the nature of priming effect. The spreading inhibition of distractor, inhibition-based fan effect, and the theory of late-selection were generally supported.
