Uncertainty and processing routes in the selection of a response: an S-R compatibility study

Acta Psychologica
E J Stoffels

Abstract

Stimulus-response (S-R) pairs are usually processed faster when-they are presented in a series that consists entirely of compatible relations rather than incompatible relations. A mixture of the two pairs in a series, which induces uncertainty, increases processing speed for both pairs, but more so for compatible S-R pairs. The results of three choice reaction time (RT) tasks showed that presentation of a precue that only indicated either compatible or incompatible S-R pairs reduced the detrimental effect of mixing pairs more for the former than for the latter pairs. A similar asymmetric reduction was observed in the third experiment when either pair was preceded by the same pair or the same class of pairing. Analyses of RT bins revealed that decreases in RT for the mixed compatible S-R pairs occurred only for the faster responses. It was shown further that errors consisted primarily of a correct application of an incorrect S-R transformation rule. The results are interpreted within the framework of the dimensional overlap model of Kornblum et al. (1990) suggesting two sources of the S-R compatibility effect; interference of primed responses and the need to suppress response priming.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
