Negative Priming (NP) refers to the phenomenon that responses towards previously ignored stimuli, as compared to new stimuli, are impaired. That is, NP is reflected in the performance on the probe display of a prime-probe sequence. NP is established in vision, audition and touch. In the current study, we presented participants with auditory, visual, and tactile manifestations of the same temporal patterns in order to measure NP across the senses. On each trial, the sensory modality shifted from the prime to the probe. Each prime and probe display consisted of a target and a distractor stimulus, presented to the same sensory modality. On some trials, the prime distractor repeated as probe target (ignored-repetition trials), on other trials the probe stimuli had not been involved in the prime display (control trials). We observed NP between audition and touch (Experiment 1) and between vision and audition (Experiment 2). These findings indicate that the processes underpinning NP can operate at an amodal, postperceptual level.
负启动（NP）是指与新刺激相比，对先前被忽略的刺激的反应受到损害的现象。也就是说，NP 反映在对启动-探测序列中探测显示的反应上。NP 在视觉、听觉和触觉中都有体现。在本研究中，我们向参与者呈现了相同时间模式的听觉、视觉和触觉表现形式，以便在不同感觉中测量 NP。在每次试验中，感觉模态从启动器转移到探测器。每个启动器和探测器显示都由一个目标和一个干扰刺激组成，呈现给相同的感觉模态。在一些试验中，启动器的干扰项重复作为探测器的目标（被忽略的重复试验），在其他试验中，探测器的刺激项没有参与启动器的显示（控制试验）。我们观察到听觉和触觉之间（实验 1）以及视觉和听觉之间（实验 2）的 NP。这些发现表明，支持 NP 的过程可以在感觉后、非模态的水平上运作。
