“…Analogously, stimuli that are preceded by correct cues generally lead to faster responses than invalidly cued stimuli (e.g., Posner and Snyder, 1975;Mattler, 2004). Both, for self-generated as well as cueinduced expectations, mismatch effects increase if the expectation is confirmed on a larger proportion of trials, i.e., is more valid (predictions: e.g., Whitman and Geller, 1973; cues: e.g., Acosta, 1982;LaBerge et al, 1970). Furthermore, stimulus repetition benefits are reduced if the self-generated (Whitman and Geller, 1972) or cueinduced expectation (LaBerge et al, 1970) matches the stimulus.…”
