Negative priming (NP) effects from irrelevant distractors were assessed as a function of
perceptual load in the processing of prime targets. Participants searched for a target letter …

The notion that inhibitory processes play a critical role in selective attention has gained wide
support. Much of this support derives from studies of negative priming. The authors note that …

Negative priming has traditionally been viewed as a reflection of an inhibitory mechanism of
attention. However, recent accounts have suggested that negative priming does not reflect …

The relation between distractor interference and negative priming from identical distractors
was examined in two experiments. Subjects responded to a target letter, which was …

It is well established that requiring a person to respond to a recently ignored object in a
visual selection task leads to slower responding (ie, negative priming). In the present …

In two priming experiments, we manipulated the perceptual quality of the target or the
distractor on the prime trial; the stimuli were repeated or novel. Negative priming was found …

In spatial selective attention tasks, response time to locate a target is often longer when the
target appears in a location that was recently occupied by an ignored distractor. It has been …

Negative priming (NP) is commonly thought to occur because distractor inhibition is
necessary for target selection (the distractor inhibition hypothesis). Contrary to this account …

Abstract contrast episodic retrieval and inhibition-based accounts of NP [negative
priming]/[note] a rudimentary similarity between the 2 models of visual selective …

Responses to recently ignored stimuli are often slower than responses to new stimuli. This
slowing—referred to as negative priming—has been cited as evidence that selective …
