We investigated the moderating influence of affective matching on S-R binding processes in a sequential priming study in which positive and negative nouns had to be categorised as referring to a person or to an object. Irrelevant positive and negative distractor words (adjectives) were integrated with responses into S-R episodes if they had the same valence as the target (affective match condition). In this case, repeating the prime distractor in the probe led to a retrieval of the prime response, which facilitated performance for response repetition sequences but had no effect on performance when responses changed between prime and probe. However, if target and distractor had different valences (affective mismatch condition), no interaction of distractor relation and response relation occurred, indicating that distractors were less likely to be associated with responses into event files during the prime trial episode. Findings reveal that affective mismatches are detected automatically and modulate a binding of irrelevant information with responses.
我们在一项序列启动研究中调查了情感匹配对 S-R 绑定过程的调节作用，在该研究中，必须将正性和负性名词分类为与人或物体有关。如果无关的正性和负性分心词（形容词）与目标具有相同的效价（情感匹配条件），则将它们与反应整合到 S-R 事件中。在这种情况下，在探测中重复启动的分心词会导致启动反应的检索，从而促进了反应重复序列的表现，但当反应在启动和探测之间改变时，对表现没有影响。然而，如果目标和分心词具有不同的效价（情感不匹配条件），则不会发生分心词关系和反应关系的交互作用，这表明在启动试验期间，分心词不太可能与反应相关联到事件文件中。研究结果表明，情感不匹配会自动被检测到，并调节无关信息与反应的绑定。
