Unconscious Processing of Facial Emotional Valence Relation: Behavioral Evidence of Integration between Subliminally Perceived Stimuli

Abstract: Although a few studies have investigated the integration between some types of unconscious stimuli, no research has yet explored the integration between unconscious emotional stimuli. This study was designed to provide behavioral evidence for the integration between unconsciously perceived emotional faces (same or different valence relation) using a modified priming paradigm. In two experiments, participants were asked to decide whether two faces in the target, which followed two subliminally presented faces o… Show more

“…These results are consistent with, and supportive of the notion of unconscious processing of information as demonstrated by numerous researchers (Bernat, Bunce, & Shevrin, ; Diaz & McCarthy, ; Montoro et al, ; Yun et al, ). Furthermore, in the context of unconscious integration between different subliminal stimuli (e.g., two shapes, two words, two emotional faces, and even multisensory stimuli) in recent studies (Celeghin et al, ; Faivre et al, ; Lin & Murray, ; Liu et al, ; Montoro et al, ; Mudrik et al, ; Tu et al, ; van Gaal et al, ), Wang et al () found that two masked subliminal arrows elicited a PCE of motor‐response priming under a short interval and a NCE of motor‐response priming under a relatively longer interval between the prime and the target. These results suggest that people can process unconsciously perceived pointing direction relation of two arrows, which is corroborated in the present study.…”

“…Similar to experimental conditions in some previous priming studies of unconscious integration (Liu et al, ; Wang et al, ), in order to assess the visual and motor priming effects, SS and OO were divided into two subtypes. To indicate the two subtypes, two lowercase letters were added to the right of the two capitalised letters (see Table ).…”
