Two negative priming (NP) experiments investigated the effects of stress and load on
selective attention. In Experiment 1, in which stress was relatively low under all conditions …

The finding that in selective attention tasks responses to previously ignored stimuli are
usually retarded is known as negative priming (NP). In previous studies it has been …

There is evidence that the efficiency of selective attention depends on the availability of
cognitive control mechanisms as distractor processing has been found to increase with high …

Negative Priming (NP) is an influential paradigm in cognitive psychology that was originally
developed to measure attentional selection. Yet, up to the mid-1990s, a large number of …

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 …

Abstract Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia The effect of a verbal (Experiment
1) and a nonverbal (Experiment 2) memory load on negative priming was investigated by …

Negative priming (NP) refers to the finding that people's responses to probe targets
previously presented as prime distractors are usually slower and more error prone than to …

Negative priming from distractors has attracted considerable interest because it appears to
reveal a fundamental mechanism of selective attention. Recently, the phenomenon has …

Negative priming reveals that participants respond slowly to a probe target that was a task-
irrelevant distractor in the preceding prime display (eg, Tipper, 1985) and is thought to reflect …

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 …
