Temporal overlap of cognitive processes occurs when partial information about a stimulus activates associated responses before the stimulus has been fully identified. Recent evidence obtained with psychophysiological measures suggests that such overlap sometimes does, and sometimes does not occur. In this contribution, we argue that in order to understand why, we have to distinguish between selection of partial information for perception and selection of partial information for control over activation of responses. We discuss several mechanisms and factors that may modulate the temporal overlap of mental processes because they selectively influence the perceptual availability or the use of partial information.
当关于刺激的部分信息在刺激被完全识别之前就激活了相关反应时，认知过程就会出现时间上的重叠。最近通过心理生理学测量获得的证据表明，这种重叠有时会发生，有时则不会。在本论文中，我们认为，为了理解其原因，我们必须区分用于感知的部分信息选择和用于控制反应激活的部分信息选择。我们讨论了几种可能调节心理过程时间重叠的机制和因素，因为它们会选择性地影响部分信息的感知可用性或使用。
