“…There is also behavioral evidence indicating that unconsciously presented pictures of different objects can prime subsequent picture naming and word categorization (e.g. Dell'Acqua & Grainger, 1999, but see Avons et al, 2009), and that recognizable words can break interocular suppression faster than words in an unfamiliar alphabet (Jiang et al, 2007). …”

Conscious awareness is necessary for processing race and gender information from faces

Previous studies suggested that emotions can be correctly interpreted from face expressions in the absence of conscious awareness of the face. Our goal was to explore whether sub-ordinate information about a face's gender and race could also become available without awareness of the face. Participants classified the race or the gender of unfamiliar faces that were ambiguous with regard to these dimensions. The ambiguous faces were preceded by face images that unequivocally represented gender and race, rendered consciously invisible by simultaneous continuous-flash-suppression. The classification of ambiguous faces was biased away from the category of the adaptor only when the it was consciously visible. The duration of subjective visibility correlated with the aftereffect strength. Moreover, face identity was consequential only if consciously perceived. These results suggest that while conscious awareness is not needed for basic level categorization, it is needed for subordinate categorization. Emotional information might be unique in this respect.

“…We used 200 semantically-related word pairs taken from published experiments (Anaki & Henik, 2003; Avons, Russo, Cinel, Verolini, Glynn, et al, 2009; Hutchinson, 2002; Rogers & Friedman, 2008; Slowiaczek, 1994; Stolz & Besner, 1998). In the pair, the prime word, e.g.…”

Gamma- and theta-band synchronization during semantic priming reflect local and long-range lexical–semantic networks

Anterior and posterior brain areas are involved in the storage and retrieval of semantic representations, but it is not known how these areas dynamically interact during semantic processing. We hypothesized that long-range theta-band coherence would reflect coupling of these areas and examined the oscillatory dynamics of lexical-semantic processing using a semantic priming paradigm with a delayed letter-search task while recording subjects' EEG. Time-frequency analysis revealed facilitation of semantic processing for Related compared to Unrelated conditions, which resulted in a reduced N400 and reduced gamma power from 150-450 ms. Moreover, we observed greater anterior-posterior theta coherence for Unrelated compared to Related conditions over the time windows 150-425 ms and 600-900 ms. We suggest that while gamma power reflects activation of local functional networks supporting semantic representations, theta coherence indicates dynamic coupling of anterior and posterior areas for retrieval and post-retrieval processing and possibly an interaction between semantic relatedness and working memory.

“…Yet, given the inconsistent data pattern in the literature on masked semantic priming, this discrepancy does not invalidate our data. In particular, with respect to the centre-surround mechanism, the kind of relationship between the prime and target (associative vs. categorical) may be a precondition for observing the negatively signed priming effect (see Avons et al, 2009). It should also be noted that our study combined the attentional blink and the semantic priming task in such a way that the parameters of the semantic priming task closely resemble the parameters of a traditional semantic priming task.…”
