Article Synopsis
- The research explored how the race of a communicator in intervention videos impacts the effectiveness of HIV and STD prevention among African American and Caucasian college females.
- The study used DVDs featuring different racial demographics and assessed the viewers' perceptions and behaviors regarding condom use after watching the videos.
- Results indicated that while the intervention successfully promoted intentions to use condoms, the race of the communicator did not play a significant role, suggesting the need for further research with diverse communicators and larger participant samples.
In the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, two unmasked targets are presented, each of which requires a speeded response. Response times to the second target (T2) are slowed when T2 is presented shortly after the first target (T1). Electrophysiological studies have previously shown that the P3 event-related potential component is not delayed during T2 response slowing in the PRP paradigm, but that the lateralized readiness potential is delayed, which suggests a bottleneck on response selection operations but not on stimulus identification.
