Two experiments examined affective priming of global and local perception. Participants attempted to detect a target that might be present as either a global or a local shape. Verbal primes were used in 1 experiment, and pictorial primes were used in the other. In both experiments, positive primes led to improved performance on the nonpreferred dimension. For participants exhibiting global precedence, detection of local targets was significantly improved, whereas for participants exhibiting local precedence, detection of global targets was significantly improved. The results provide support for an interpretation of the effects of positive affective priming in terms of increased perceptual flexibility.
两项实验研究了整体与局部知觉的情感启动效应。参与者试图检测可能呈现为整体或局部形状的目标。其中一项实验使用言语启动刺激，另一项实验使用图片启动刺激。在两项实验中，积极的启动刺激都使在非偏好维度上的表现得到改善。对于表现出整体优先性的参与者，局部目标的检测显著改善；而对于表现出局部优先性的参与者，整体目标的检测显著改善。这些结果为从增加知觉灵活性的角度解释积极情感启动效应提供了支持。
