Recent studies have emphasized the association between action and perceptual awareness, suggesting that action-related information can contribute to perceptual awareness. Given that the Level of Processing (LoP) hypothesis proposes that the emergence of awareness depends on the level of stimulus processing, the current study examines whether action impacts perceptual awareness across different processing levels. In Experiment 1, participants identified target stimuli's color (low-level task) or category (high-level task) via mouse clicks, followed by visual awareness ratings. Experiment 2 replicated the tasks using hand-grip dynamometers. Results from Experiment 1 support the LoP theory, showing a more gradual emergence of awareness for low-level features and a more dichotomous emergence for high-level features. In Experiment 2, higher reported visual awareness ratings were observed at greater physical effort, regardless of task type. These results suggest that action-related information influences reported awareness of stimuli in the same way at low- and high-level stimulus processing.
最近的研究强调了动作与知觉意识之间的关联，表明与动作相关的信息可以有助于知觉意识。鉴于加工水平假说提出，意识的出现取决于刺激加工的水平，本研究考察了动作是否会在不同的加工水平上影响知觉意识。在实验 1 中，参与者通过鼠标点击来识别目标刺激的颜色（低水平任务）或类别（高水平任务），然后对视觉意识进行评分。实验 2 使用握力测力计复制了这些任务。实验 1 的结果支持加工水平假说，表明低水平特征的意识出现更为渐进，而高水平特征的意识出现更为二分。在实验 2 中，无论任务类型如何，更高的物理努力程度都伴随着更高的视觉意识评分。这些结果表明，在低水平和高水平的刺激加工中，与动作相关的信息以相同的方式影响对刺激的报告意识。
