In two experiments using a sequential prime-probe design we analyzed whether distractors repeated as targets retrieve the former prime response, although the prime response had to be withheld until after probe responding. Following Gibbons and Stahl (2008), we applied the lateralized readiness potential (LRP) as a measure for the retrieval of compatible or incompatible motor activation from the prime. When targets retrieved episodes containing the same response hand, the LRP onset occurred earlier, whereas when targets retrieved episodes containing the other response hand, the LRP onset was delayed. This data pattern supports prime-response retrieval theories of negative priming (Mayr and Buchner, 2006; Rothermund, De Houwer, and Wentura, 2005). In addition, the results show that executing a prime response is not a precondition for stimulus-response bindings.
在两个使用序贯启动-探测设计的实验中，我们分析了在必须抑制对探测的反应之前，重复作为目标的分心物是否会重新获取先前的启动反应。遵循吉本斯和斯塔尔（2008）的做法，我们应用了侧化准备电位（LRP）作为从启动中获取兼容或不兼容的运动激活的测量。当目标重新获取包含相同反应手的事件时，LRP 起始较早，而当目标重新获取包含另一只反应手的事件时，LRP 起始则延迟。该数据模式支持负启动的启动反应检索理论（Mayr 和 Buchner，2006；Rothermund、De Houwer 和 Wentura，2005）。此外，结果表明，执行启动反应不是刺激-反应绑定的前提条件。
