“…Importantly, the size of the negative priming effect was much larger for the slow responses than for the fast responses. This result is congruent with previous findings in which longer reaction times were also correlated with stronger negative priming effects (e.g., Neill & Westberry, 1987;Yee et al, 2000). Note that the response time level in this study was not manipulatedintentionally or unintentionally -by help of an experimental manipulation, such as instruction (Neill & Westberry, 1987) or target selection type (Yee et al, 2000).…”

“…Similarly, experimental manipulations leading to an increase in the overall reaction-time level have been found to increase the effect size of negative priming in terms of reaction-time differences between negative priming and control trials. Yee, Santoro, Grey, and Woog (2000) observed increased negative priming when the target selection required conceptual instead of perceptual stimulus processing, the former of which yielded significantly larger reaction times than the latter.…”

Responding to a stimulus that had to be ignored previously is usually slowed-down (negative priming effect). This study investigates the reaction time and ERP effects of the negative priming phenomenon in the auditory domain. Thirty participants had to categorize sounds as musical instruments or animal voices. Reaction times were slowed-down in the negative priming condition relative to two control conditions. This effect was stronger for slow reactions (above intraindividual median) than for fast reactions (below intraindividual median). ERP analysis revealed a parietally located negativity of the negative priming condition compared to the control conditions between 550-730 ms poststimulus. This replicates the findings of Mayr, Niedeggen, Buchner, and Pietrowsky (2003) . The ERP correlate was more pronounced for slow trials (above intraindividual median) than for fast trials (below intraindividual median). The dependency of the negative priming effect size on the reaction time level found in the reaction time analysis as well as in the ERP analysis is consistent with both the inhibition as well as the episodic retrieval account of negative priming. A methodological artifact explanation of this effect-size dependency is discussed and discarded.

“…These results are consistent with the findings of Yee et al (2000). In their studies, when participants used a conceptual task to select the item to attend to and then identified a perceptual feature of the stimulus as was done in the present studies, they obtained an average response time of 1,862 ms on probe trials and an average negative priming effect of 186 ms.…”

“…Erickson and Reder (1998) provided an initial demonstration of long-term negative priming when a distractor was ignored multiple times prior to being presented as the target. In this experiment and in the other experiments presented in this article, the stimuli were numbers presented either in a bold or outline (or italic) font (Yee, Santoro, Grey, & Woog, 2000). The participants' task was to identify the font of the number with the smaller value.…”

Negative priming is a selective attention phenomenon that refers to impaired performance to a target when the target appeared as a distractor in a previous trial (Tipper, 1985). Although DeSchepper and Treisman (1996) demonstrated long-term negative priming, a number of researchers have failed to replicate their findings. We present two empirical studies that demonstrate robust and general long-term negative priming without multiple stimulus repetitions. We also show that repetition increases and delay decreases the effect of negative priming. These findings confirm predictions of associative accounts of negative priming. Thus, negative priming may be seen not only as a product of selective attention, but also as an instance of general learning in the cognitive system. Early theories of attention tended to focus on the object of attention. These theories emphasized the facilitating "spotlight" at the center of attention, and the remaining areas of visual space were largely ignored (e.g., Broadbent, 1958). More recently, however, researchers have developed evidence of an inhibitory effect of attention on objects that fall outside the spotlight. In particular, if some part of a visual display (either an object or a location) is to be ignored at some point in time, responses to that same item (or to one that is sufficiently similar) will be inhibited (i.e., slower or less accurate) at subsequent points in time. This inhibitory effect of ignoring an object has been termed negative priming (Tipper, 1985). A typical negative priming experiment consists of pairs of visual displays. Before any stimuli are displayed, partic

“…Consequently, they found greater negative priming effects for the local than for the global attention situation. Yee, Santoro, Grey, and Woog (2000) investigated whether there is a connection between identity negative priming effects and processes that direct attention to target stimuli. They manipulated the level of processing (conceptual versus perceptual) at target selection.…”

In a location-based negative priming paradigm, the possibility of a disengagement option of the underlying inhibitory mechanism was tested. Whereas in previous studies disengagement was observed when providing utility information about the probe trial structure, in the present study the allocation of visual attention to the stimuli was manipulated. In the first step an automatic deployment of visual attention was implemented by presenting all stimuli as abrupt onsets (Experiment 1), which demonstrated commonly observed negative priming effects. In further conditions of non-automatic allocation of visual attention in which target and distractor were presented as no-onset stimuli, negative priming effects were eliminated (Experiments 2 and 3). The preferred interpretation is that in conditions of automatic control of attention, target and distractor compete for control of action. A non-automatic control of visual attention, on the other hand, leads to a top-down modulated selection, which results in prioritized target encoding and a loss of distractor impact on the selection process. Alternative accounts and the role of no-onset distractor processing were investigated in Experiment 4.
