“…Alternatively, procedures that draw participants' attention away from evaluative information may facilitate extinction of ECacquired response. Specifically, Vanaelst, Spruyt, Everaert, and De Houwer (2017) recently observed partial extinction of EC effects when participants were led to focus their attention away from evaluative information of the CSs during extinction training. Hence, whereas orienting attention on valence may facilitate the acquisition of conditioned response (Gast & Rothermund, 2011), drawing attention away from it may facilitate extinction (Vanaelst et al, 2017).…”

This doctoral thesis examines the contribution of associative learning toevaluative conditioning effects (EC). Associative learning in attitude researchis assumed to involve the automatic formation of unqualified links betweenconditioned (CS) and unconditioned (US) stimuli in memory. We addressed the« automaticity » assumption by examining the role of awareness in EC, and theefficiency of EC. The « unqualified » assumption was addressed by examiningthe reciprocity of US-to-CS and CS-to-US effects following CS-US pairings, andthe sensitivity of EC to a change in CS-US regularities. Results from multipleexperiments question both the automatic and unqualified EC assumptions.Therefore, this doctoral research challenges the view that associative learningprocesses play a role in EC and, more generally, the validity of dual-learningmodels of attitudes.

“…As the degree of attention that is assigned to certain features of a stimulus is goal-driven (Corbetta & Shulman, 2002;Hopfinger, Buonocore & Mangun, 2000;Mazzietti, Sellem & Koenig, 2014;Yantis, 2000), it can be inferred that depending on their goals, consumers may direct their attention to varying attribute features of a product. Importantly, recent research consistently finds that automatic appraisals are crucially dependent on such top-down attentional control (e.g., Spruyt, Tibboel, De Schryver, & De Houwer, 2018;Vanaelst, Spruyt, Everaert, & De Houwer, 2016). In other words, the more attention is assigned to one stimulus attribute, the higher is the likelihood it will be processed under automaticity conditions (Everaert, Spruyt, & De Houwer, 2013;Spruyt, De Houwer, Everaert, & Hermans, 2012;Spruyt, Tibboel, De Schryver, & De Houwer, 2018).…”

“…The balance between the stability of the estimate and the effort required from the participant can therefore be more delicate in the AMP as compared to other implicit measures. Of course, one may note that the total number of AMP trials is typically well above 50 [ 10 ], but some authors did report that the total number of AMP trials can be as small as 18 (see [ 10 ], p. 682) or even 16 [ 11 , 12 ]. Moreover, for some research questions, it may be essential to compute AMP scores for specific stimuli rather than stimulus categories.…”

To IMPRES or to EXPRES? Exploiting comparative judgments to measure and visualize implicit and explicit preferences

We introduce an adaptation of the affect misattribution procedure (AMP), called the implicit preference scale (IMPRES). Participants who complete the IMPRES indicate their preference for one of two, simultaneously presented Chinese ideographs. Each ideograph is preceded by a briefly presented prime stimulus that is irrelevant to the task. Participants are hypothesized to prefer the ideograph that is preceded by the prime they prefer. In the present research, the IMPRES was designed to capture racial attitudes (preferences for white versus black faces) and age-related attitudes (preferences for young versus old faces). Results suggest that (a) the reliability of the IMPRES is similar (or even better) than the reliability of the AMP and (b) that the IMPRES and the AMP correlate significantly. However, neither the AMP nor the IMPRES were found to predict attitude-related outcome behavior (i.e., the preparedness to donate money to a charity benefiting ethnic minorities vs. the elderly). Further research is thus necessary to establish the validity of the IMPRES. Finally, we demonstrated that, unlike the AMP, the IMPRES allows for an in-depth assessment of unanticipated response patterns and/or extreme observations using multidimensional scaling algorithms.
