Abstract: The purpose of the current research was to explore the performance of self-processing advantage in updating of working memory(WM). Seventy students participated in this experiment, and ownership paradigm and n-back paradigm were adopted. The results showed: 1)participants performed worse on reaction time and accuracy in 2-back task than that in 1-back task. 2)there was no significant difference on the accuracy between self-objects and other-objects. 3)participants responded faster to own-objects than other-objects. The results suggest that whether in high-load or low-load, there is a significant self-processing advantage in updating of WM. Accounting for the task priority of working memory, it refers to the processing of self-related information is faster than that of other-related information; and this advantage is not influenced by WM load.

Key words: self-processing advantage, self-awareness, working memory, updating.

摘要: 通过采用所有权范式和n-back范式,将70名大学生随机分为2组,2组被试分别完成1-back和2-back任务,探讨了工作记忆中自我相关信息的刷新特点。结果发现:(1)低记忆负荷下的正确率显著高于高记忆负荷,且反应时显著快于高记忆负荷。(2)自我物品与他人物品在正确率上无显著差异。(3)自我物品的反应时显著快于他人物品。这说明无论记忆负荷高低,在工作记忆刷新功能上始终存在自我加工优势,主要表现在对自我相关信息的刷新速度上。
