Marty, Romoli, Sudo & Breheny 2022: Experiment 1

Bott & Chemla 2016

Baseline

  • Bott & Chemla 2016 did not include baselines

  • Direction of priming

    • Strong primes boost SIs
    • Weak primes inhibit SIs
    • Both

  • Bott & Chemla discuss PLURAL as a proxy baseline

  • Waldon & Degen 2020 included math pseudo-primes as baselines

Block design

  • BLOCK 1: Only covered box task

    • 4 target items x 3 scales
    • 2 true controls (correct answer = Overt) x 3 scales
    • 2 false controls (correct answer = Covert) x 3 scales

  • BLOCK 2: Same as Bott & Chemla 2016

    • 4 prime-prime-target triplets x 3 scales x 2 prime types
    • Filler items with stronger expressions ('all', 'six', 'X and Y')
      • 3 with Covered Card x 3 scales
      • 3 without Covered card x 3 scales
