The investigation of self-prioritization via a simple matching paradigm represents a new way of enhancing our knowledge about the processing of self-relevant content and also increases our understanding of the self-concept itself. By associating formerly neutral material with the self, and assessing the resulting prioritization of these newly formed self-associations, conclusions can be drawn concerning the effects of self-relevance without the burden of highly overlearned materials such as one’s own name. This approach was used to gain further insights into the structure and complexity of self-associations: a tactile pattern was associated with the self and thereafter, the prioritization of the exact same visual pattern was assessed – enabling the investigation of crossmodal self-associations. The results demonstrate a prioritization of self-associated material that rapidly extends beyond the borders of a sensory modality in which it was first established.

当自我优先级跨越感官时：视觉和触觉之间展示的跨模式自我优先级

通过简单的匹配范式对自我优先级的研究代表了一种新的方式来增强我们对自我相关内容的处理的知识，也增加了我们对自我概念本身的理解。通过将以前中性的材料与自我联系起来，并评估这些新形成的自我联系的结果优先级，可以得出关于自我相关性的影响的结论，而无需为高度过度学习的材料（例如自己的名字）带来负担。这种方法被用来进一步了解自我关联的结构和复杂性：触觉模式与自我相关联，此后，完全相同的视觉的优先级模式被评估——能够调查跨模式自关联。结果表明，自我关联材料的优先级迅速超出了它最初建立的感官模式的边界。
