The response-window version of a go/no-go (GNG) response priming task is introduced using both evaluative (Experiment 1) and animacy decision (Experiment 2). In each trial a cue indicates which target category should lead to a key-press. The target is preceded by either a congruent or incongruent prime. The standard priming task was added as well. Both tasks yielded robust priming effects. However, they differed regarding a signature of response activation paradigms, that is, the Gratton effect (i.e. smaller priming effects following incongruent trials compared to congruent trials), which is present in the standard task but absent in the GNG task. This indicates that effects found with the GNG task are caused by different processes compared to the standard task. Experiment 3 tested an alternative account to explain priming effects in the GNG task. By manipulating response biases, Experiment 3 provides evidence for this account.
本文引入了一种采用评估（实验1）和有生命性判断（实验2）的“是/否”（GNG）反应启动任务的反应窗口版本。在每次试验中，一个线索会指示哪个目标类别会导致按键。目标之前会出现一个一致或不一致的启动刺激。同时还增加了标准启动任务。两项任务都产生了强烈的启动效应。然而，它们在反应激活范式的一个特征上存在差异，即格拉顿效应（即与一致试验相比，不一致试验后的启动效应较小），该效应在标准任务中存在，但在GNG任务中不存在。这表明，与标准任务相比，GNG任务中发现的效应是由不同的过程引起的。实验3测试了另一种解释GNG任务中启动效应的观点。通过操纵反应偏差，实验3为这一观点提供了证据。
