Does response inhibition occur unconsciously? A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis
Conscious Cogn. 2023 Sep 7;115:103570. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2023.103570. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsciousness is traditionally considered necessary for response inhibition. Recently, researchers have attempted to explore unconscious response inhibition using the masked go/no-go task. However, their findings were controversial and might have been confounded by the methodology employed. Therefore, we used a three-level Bayesian meta-analysis to provide the first systematic overview of the field of unconscious response inhibition. Finally, 34 studies in 16 articles with a total sample size of 521 were included. In sum...

Hypnotic suggestion modulates visual recognition of negative words depending on word arousal
This study examined whether and how emotional hypnotic suggestions modulate the visual recognition of negative words. We investigated the influence of hypnotic suggestions aimed at modifying emotional reactivity on the arousal effect in negative words. High and low suggestible individuals performed a go/no-go lexical decision task in three intra-individual conditions: with a suggestion to increase emotional reactivity, with a suggestion to decrease emotional reactivity and without hypnotic suggestion. Results showed that hypnotic suggestions modulated the arousal facilitation effect differently depending on the level of su...

Revisiting the link between the sustained attention to response task (SART) and daily-life cognitive failures
In this study, we examined the relationship betweenerrors of commissionon theSustained Attention to Response Task(SART)andscores on the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ). The goal was to assess theecological validity of the SARTin a sample of people scoring high on fatigue complaints.SART errors of commission were positively associated with CFQ scores and this finding remained after controlling for fatigue level, age, and SART reaction times.Thus, our results generally supported the ecological validity of the SART. However, when examining subsamples separately, we found the association between SART and CFQ only in our...

Extrastriate activity reflects the absence of local retinal input
Conscious Cogn. 2023 Aug 26;114:103566. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2023.103566. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe physiological blind spot corresponds to the optic disc where the retina contains no light-detecting photoreceptor cells. Our perception seemingly fills in this gap in input. Here we suggest that rather than an active process, such perceptual filling-in could instead be a consequence of the integration of visual inputs at higher stages of processing discounting the local absence of retinal input. Using functional brain imaging, we resolved the retinotopic representation of the physiological blind spot in early human ...

Patterns of ongoing thought in the real world
Conscious Cogn. 2023 Aug 22;114:103530. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2023.103530. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHealth and well-being are impacted by our thoughts and the things we do. In the laboratory, studies suggest specific task contexts impact thought processes. More broadly, this suggests the people we are with, the places we are in, and the activities we perform may influence our thought patterns. In our study, participants completed experience sampling surveys for five days in daily life. Principal component analysis decomposed this data to identify common "patterns of thought," and linear mixed modelling related these p...
