    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Science
    • Sensory Perception

    Background:

    • Perceptual reactance, the tendency to amplify or reduce sensory input, influences cognitive processing.
    • Individual differences in perceptual reactance may impact performance on various cognitive tasks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between perceptual reactance (augmenting vs. reducing) and performance on reaction time and memory tasks.
    • To explore how sensory processing styles affect learning and recall.

    Main Methods:

    • 57 female participants completed the kinesthetic figural aftereffects test to assess perceptual reactance.
    • Performance was measured using a disjunctive reaction time task and a paired-associate learning task with similar and dissimilar word lists.

    Main Results:

    • Augmenters demonstrated quicker reaction times than reducers.
    • A significant interaction effect was observed in the paired-associate task: augmenters performed better with similar lists, while reducers excelled with dissimilar lists.

    Conclusions:

    • Individual differences in perceptual reactance are associated with distinct cognitive performance patterns.
    • Augmenters and reducers exhibit differential learning and memory strategies based on stimulus similarity, suggesting unique information processing styles.
