摘要:The previous presentation of a visual stimulus (letter, word, and object) can have a lasting effect on the visual processing of subsequent stimuli. Here, we investigated the priming effect of drawings of the human hand (left/right hand, back/palm view) on the Manual Reaction Times (MRT) in a task using the same drawings as test stimuli. In a given trial, the two drawings could be matched (or not) for parameters such as laterality or view. Three experiments were performed exploring combinations of the parameters above. In all experiments, a non-informative drawing appeared for 200ms in a computer display and 1000ms later a second drawing appeared at the same location and remained on until the right or left switch was pressed to indicate the laterality (Exp. I), view (Exp. II) or color (Exp. III) of the target stimulus. The results show that presentation of the picture of a human hand influences MRTs to the second stimulus only when response selection is based on a body feature (handedness or view).
