We investigated implicit versus explicit activation of the sexual system using a priming paradigm in which sexual slides were preceded by either sexual or neutral primes. In the first experiment, primes were made inaccessible to conscious cognitive elaboration. Identification of sexual targets was facilitated by sexual primes, indicating that sexual representations in memory can be activated automatically. In the second experiment, in which primes were presented at a conscious level, identification of sexual targets was decelerated by sexual primes. Primes elicited subjective sexual arousal in Experiment 2 only, demonstrating that the activation of subjective experience requires conscious cognitive elaboration. With the addition of a sexually specific physiological measure, to be constructed to measure initial genital responses, this paradigm may help elucidate activational mechanisms of sexual response.
我们使用一种启动范式来研究性系统的内隐激活与外显激活，在该范式中，性幻灯片之前会呈现性启动刺激或中性启动刺激。在第一个实验中，启动刺激无法被有意识地进行认知加工。性启动刺激促进了对性目标的识别，这表明记忆中的性表征可以被自动激活。在第二个实验中，启动刺激是在意识层面呈现的，性启动刺激减缓了对性目标的识别。启动刺激仅在实验2中引发了主观的性唤起，这表明主观体验的激活需要有意识的认知加工。通过增加一种专门用于测量初始生殖器反应的性特异性生理测量方法，这种范式可能有助于阐明性反应的激活机制。
