Visual Difference

An experiment was conducted which measured the RT of 40 adult Ss to the onset and termination of rapid rise and decay lights and sounds which had been equated for subjective intensity. Onset RT was faster than termination for both sense modes, and auditory RT was faster than visual for both onset and termination. The results are compared with previous intersensory and onset-termination RT research and with another auditory-visual difference in the judgment of duration.

Black Side

Reaction times were obtained to the onset and offset of flash stimuli located in various positions in a visual field divided into two contiguous regions of white and black. With presentation of the flash stimuli in the fovea, there were no significant differences in the character of functional onset and offset RTs or in the character of the function relating RT to distance from the border. There was a border effect operative for both functions; a decrease in both onset and offset RTs appeared as the border was approached from the white side and a slight increase in both onset and offset RTs when the border was approached from the black side.

Second Wave

In order to model within-person (WP) variance in a reaction time task, we applied a mixed location scale model using 335 participants from the second wave of the Zurich Longitudinal Study on Cognitive Aging. The age of the respondents and the performance in another reaction time task were used to explain individual differences in the WP variance. To account for larger variances due to slower reaction times, we also used the average of the predicted individual reaction time (RT) as a predictor for the WP variability. Here, the WP variability was a function of the mean. At the same time, older participants were more variable and those with better performance in another RT task were more consistent in their responses.

Priming Condition

Responding to a stimulus that had to be ignored previously is usually slowed-down (negative priming effect). This study investigates the reaction time and ERP effects of the negative priming phenomenon in the auditory domain. Thirty participants had to categorize sounds as musical instruments or animal voices. Reaction times were slowed-down in the negative priming condition relative to two control conditions. This effect was stronger for slow reactions (above intraindividual median) than for fast reactions (below intraindividual median). ERP analysis revealed a parietally located negativity of the negative priming condition compared to the control conditions between 550-730 ms poststimulus. This replicates the findings of Mayr, Niedeggen, Buchner, and Pietrowsky (2003) . The ERP correlate was more pronounced for slow trials (above intraindividual median) than for fast trials (below intraindividual median). The dependency of the negative priming effect size on the reaction time level found in the reaction time analysis as well as in the ERP analysis is consistent with both the inhibition as well as the episodic retrieval account of negative priming. A methodological artifact explanation of this effect-size dependency is discussed and discarded.
