ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of divided attention and the notification of categorical cues on the categorical relational processing of an enactment paradigm. In this study, we conducted a 3 (encoding condition: verbal tasks vs. experimenter-performed tasks vs. subject-performed tasks) × 2 (attention state: full attention vs. divided attention) × 2 (cue notification condition: with notification vs. without notification) mixed design to explore these questions. Our data analysis showed that the categorical relational processing of subject-performed tasks was not significantly disrupted by divided attention regardless of whether categorical cues were provided. Additionally, categorical cues did not help effectively resist the reduction effects of divided attention in experimenter-performed tasks and verbal tasks. These findings suggest that subject-performed tasks mainly relied on automatic categorical relational encoding processes, minimally disrupted by divided attention.

摘要

这项研究的目的是检验分散注意力和类别提示的通知对制定范例的类别关系处理的影响。在这项研究中，我们进行了3次（编码条件：口头任务与实验者执行的任务与受试者完成的任务）×2（注意状态：完全关注vs.分散注意力）×2（提示通知条件：具有通知vs （恕不另行通知）混合设计以探讨这些问题。我们的数据分析表明，无论是否提供了分类线索，分散注意力不会显着破坏主题执行任务的分类关系处理。此外，分类提示不能有效地抵抗实验者执行的任务和口头任务中分散注意力的减少效果。
