Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

149
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

First Impression01:09

First Impression

107
First impressions play a crucial role in social perception, shaping how individuals assess others in professional, academic, and interpersonal contexts. Psychological research highlights the significance of cognitive biases, such as the primacy and recency effects, which influence how people interpret and recall information.The Primacy Effect and Cognitive AnchoringThe primacy effect describes the tendency for initial information to impact judgment disproportionately. When individuals encounter...

Timing and Consequences on Behavior

264
In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective. 
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant...

Subliminal Perception01:15

Subliminal Perception

581
Subliminal perception refers to the processing of sensory information that occurs below the level of conscious awareness. Researchers study subliminal perception by presenting a stimulus, such as a word or image, very quickly, typically around 50 milliseconds. This rapid presentation is often followed by another stimulus, such as a pattern of dots or lines, which blocks further mental processing of the initial stimulus. As a result, if participants cannot identify the initial stimulus better...

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

4.2K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Framing Effects03:26

Framing Effects

7.7K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Predicted action outcomes are not rapidly cancelled from perception as previously thought. Instead, congruent sensory events are initially facilitated, with cancellation only emerging later, suggesting a dual-process model for action control.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychophysics
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Action control models propose predicted outcomes are cancelled from perception to prioritize unexpected events.
  • This cancellation is assumed to occur early via sensory input subtraction, facilitating rapid error correction.
  • Existing evidence generally supports reduced perception of expected action consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically test the assumption of rapid sensory cancellation of predicted action outcomes.
  • To investigate the temporal dynamics of perception for self-generated actions and their consequences.

Main Methods:

  • Three psychophysical experiments were conducted.
  • Participants rated the perceived intensity (brightness) of visual stimuli depicting finger movements.
  • Stimuli were either congruent or incongruent with participants' own movements, assessed at different time points post-action.

Main Results:

  • Evidence for cancellation (reduced brightness of congruent stimuli) was observed only at 200 ms after action.
  • An opposite effect, enhanced brightness of congruent stimuli, was found at earlier time points (50 ms after action).
  • Experiment 3 ruled out response bias as an explanation for these temporal effects.

Conclusions:

  • The 'cancellation' process in action control may not be as rapid as previously assumed.
  • Perception of predicted action outcomes appears to be initially facilitated, not subtracted.
  • A dual-process model is proposed: early facilitation of predicted events and later detection of prediction errors.
