Responding is predicted to be faster on consistent trials, when concepts that are associated in memory share a response key, than on inconsistent trials, when less associated items share a key. In the current study, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded while participants were engaged in an IAT task. Two positively valenced stimuli (baby and romance) and two negatively valenced stimuli (spider and snake) were employed as category labels. Results showed shorter response latencies on consistent relative to inconsistent trials. Differential EEG activity was also observed.. Consistent trials tended to generate more positive waveforms in the central and parietal areas relative to inconsistent trials during the 300- to 400-ms interval following stimulus onset. During the 400- to 600-ms interval, inconsistent trials were significantly more positive than consistent trials at the two prefrontal sites and significantly more negative at the two central sites. Comparisons between the EEG activity generated in the current IAT study and that generated by semantic priming are discussed.Citation DetailsTitle: Electrophysiological activity generated during the Implicit Association Test: a study using event-related potentials.(Report)Author: Catriona O'ToolePublication: The Psychological Record (Magazine/Journal)Date: March 22, 2009Publisher: The Psychological RecordVolume: 59 Issue: 2 Page: 207(13)Article Type: ReportDistributed by Gale, a part of Cengage Learning |
