The locus of inhibition in the priming of static objects: object token versus location.

Published: April 1993

The inhibition witnessed in the negative priming effect has been accounted for by positing an object file containing both identity and location information. In the present study, four experiments with 31 human subjects replicate the negative priming effect and, using new dual-target conditions where subjects respond to the target first perceived on a two-target forced-choice probe trial, suggest that location alone could account for the observed inhibition. Experiment 1 establishes an RT baseline for the new dual-target condition, whereas Experiments 2 and 3 replicate previously found single-target effects under dual-target conditions. Experiment 4 allows a concurrent determination of the inhibition accruing to both the target and distractor. The results are discussed relative to the likely existence of different kinds of inhibition which reveal themselves as a function of task demands.

Background: Many individuals with health problems and/or disabilities are largely dependent on the help of an informal caregiver, most often a family member with whom they live (CDC Report, 2018). A recent report by the Alzheimer's Association (2023) found that, compared with caregivers of people without dementia, twice as many caregivers of those with dementia have reported significant emotional, financial, and physical difficulties. Despite the important role that caregivers have in our society, research on potential factors that may buffer the negative impacts of caregiving has been lacking.

The Beyond Reality Image Collection (BRIC) is a set of 648 photos, some painted by an artist and some generated by artificial intelligence. Unlike previous photosets, the BRIC focused on nonrealistic visuals. This collection includes abstract and non-abstract paintings and nonrealistic photographs depicting objects, scenes, animals, humans, and fantastical creatures with varying degrees of unreal elements.

Manganese Galvanic Cells Intervene in Tumor Metabolism to Reinforce cGAS-STING Activation for Bidirectional Synergistic Hydrogen-Immunotherapy.

The cGAS-STING pathway is pivotal in initiating antitumor immunity. However, tumor metabolism, particularly glycolysis, negatively regulates the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway. Herein, Mn galvanic cells (MnG) are prepared via liquid-phase exfoliation and in situ galvanic replacement to modulate tumor metabolism, thereby enhancing cGAS-STING activation for bidirectional synergistic H-immunotherapy.

The red palm weevil (RPW) is an invasive pest that causes devastating damage to a variety of palm plants, which exhibit specific immune priming to (Bt). However, immune priming in RPW may incur a high fitness cost, and its molecular signaling pathways have not yet been reported. Here, we investigated the effect of Bt priming on RPW development and subsequently analyzed the hormonal and immune-related molecular pathways influencing the fitness cost induced by Bt priming.

Fairness-related decision-making often involves a conflict between egoistic and prosocial motives. Previous research based on Terror Management Theory (TMT) indicates that mortality salience can promote both selfish and prosocial behaviors, leaving its effect on fairness-related decision-making uncertain. This study integrates TMT with the strength model of self-control to investigate the effects of mortality salience on fairness-related decision-making and to examine the moderating role of dispositional self-control.
