“…However, if anything, this design has been shown to produce a bias in the opposite direction, that is, a unimodal over cross-modal priming advantage, compared with a between-subjects manipulation of modality. This finding is thought to reflect voluntary encoding strategies and/or the increased attention drawn to perceptual features of the stimuli in mixed modality trial blocks ( Brown, Neblett, Jones, & Mitchell, 1991 ; Lukatela, Eaton, Moreno, & Turvey, 2007 ; Mulligan, 2011 ). This previous work suggests that the present studies may have been biased toward observing a unimodal priming advantage, making the lack of such an advantage even more striking.…”

Research has shown that adults’ lexical-semantic representations are surprisingly malleable. For instance, the interpretation of ambiguous words (e.g., bark) is influenced by experience such that recently encountered meanings become more readily available (Rodd et al., 2016, 2013). However, the mechanism underlying this word-meaning priming effect remains unclear, and competing accounts make different predictions about the extent to which information about word meanings that is gained within one modality (e.g., speech) is transferred to the other modality (e.g., reading) to aid comprehension. In two Web-based experiments, ambiguous target words were primed with either written or spoken sentences that biased their interpretation toward a subordinate meaning, or were unprimed. About 20 min after the prime exposure, interpretation of these target words was tested by presenting them in either written or spoken form, using word association (Experiment 1, N = 78) and speeded semantic relatedness decisions (Experiment 2, N = 181). Both experiments replicated the auditory unimodal priming effect shown previously (Rodd et al., 2016, 2013) and revealed significant cross-modal priming: primed meanings were retrieved more frequently and swiftly across all primed conditions compared with the unprimed baseline. Furthermore, there were no reliable differences in priming levels between unimodal and cross-modal prime-test conditions. These results indicate that recent experience with ambiguous word meanings can bias the reader’s or listener’s later interpretation of these words in a modality-general way. We identify possible loci of this effect within the context of models of long-term priming and ambiguity resolution.

“…As Graf and Schacter ( 16 ) have stated, the implicit memory is revealed when performance on a task is facilitated in the absence of conscious recollection. This facilitation is usually measured through the repetition priming effect ( 17 , 18 ), which is referring to the facilitation effect of a pre-exposed object to an identical object ( 19 ). Previous studies investigated the implicit memory in MDD patients by manipulating the emotional types of stimuli.…”

IntroductionIn patients with current major depressive disorder (cMDD) a general abnormal implicit memory has been reported. However, the elaborate function of implicit memory when processing stimuli with different emotions (i.e., positive, neutral, and negative) in current and remitted (rMDD) patients is unclear. The present review examines implicit memory’s general and elaborate in cMDD and rMDD patients.MethodsWe conducted meta-analyses based on published studies meeting criteria in Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE databases between 1990 and July 2022. The full sample patients included cMDD = 601 and rMDD = 143.ResultsInitial analysis of cMDD patients revealed a general implicit memory deficit. Subsequent subgroup analyses showed that the implicit memory performance to neutral stimuli is poorer in cMDD patients than controls, but recovered in rMDD patients; the deficient implicit memory to positive stimuli existed in cMDD and rMDD patients; the implicit memory performance to negative stimuli in cMDD patients is similar to controls but poorer in rMDD patients.ConclusionThese findings indicate that the negative bias in cMDD patients might compensate for the general implicit memory deficit. Together, the implicit memory to neutral stimuli could recover with remission, whereas still abnormal in processing positive and negative stimuli. These results suggested that the abnormal implicit memory to positive and negative information might be relevant to depression pathogenesis.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD42020205003.
