Abstract:

The Attentional Boost Effect (ABE) refers to the phenomenon that the memory of background materials presented simultaneously with the detection stimuli is enhanced in learning phase. Previous studies have found that incidental encoding of memory materials can also produce a significant ABE. To further explore the impact of intentionality of encoding on ABE, the present study adopted a learning-test paradigm, in which the intentional and incidental encoding conditions were manipulated in learning phase with detection stimulus and vocabulary were presented together for 500 ms (Experiment 1) or 200 ms (Experiment 2), and setting a recognition task and “remember/know” (R/K) judgment task in the test phase. The results showed that in the intentional encoding condition, a significant ABE was found in both experiments, and the target detection mainly promoted the “R” response of the words; in the incidental encoding condition, significant ABE was found in Experiment 1, but not in Experiment 2. Therefore, ABE is stable in the intentional encoding condition, but the generation of it in the incidental encoding condition is conditional, and if the background materials fail to receive any attention resources, ABE will not occur.

Key words: attentional boost effect (ABE), detection of target, intentionality of encoding, “remember/know” (R/K) judgment

摘要:

注意促进效应(ABE)是指学习阶段的目标探测任务会促进同时呈现的背景材料的记忆。以往研究发现对记忆材料的无意编码也能产生显著ABE。为进一步探讨编码意向对ABE的影响,研究采用“学习−测验”范式,学习阶段设置有意和无意编码条件,探测刺激和词汇共同呈现500 ms(实验1)或200 ms(实验2),测验阶段设置新旧再认任务和“记得/知道”判断任务。结果显示,有意编码条件下两个实验都发现显著ABE,且目标探测主要促进的是词汇的“记得”反应;无意编码条件下仅实验1发现显著ABE,实验2未发现。结果表明,有意编码条件下ABE是稳定的,但无意编码条件下产生ABE是有条件的,如果背景材料未能得到任何注意资源,不会产生ABE。
