The Modulation Of Implicit Contextual Cueing For Cognitive Control

Generally speaking,cognitive control is an active,relatively difficult way of cognitive processing,which requires mental effort.It is a conscious process.However,with the deepening of cognitive control research,it is gradually discovered that cognitive control may not necessarily involve conscious participation.In many studies,cognitive conflict may be triggered by unconscious stimuli.Also,in the study of conflict proportional effect,automated cognitive control is gradually confirmed.Usually,contextual cuing paradigm is a kind of unconscious implicit learning.With regard to the study of the relationship between cognitive control and unconscious,we can use contextual clues to explore whether unconscious situations can regulate cognitive control.At the same time,we can get more pure scene level cognitive control effect.In this study,the classical visual search paradigm and the Stroop paradigm are used in this study.Experiment 1 is to investigate whether the implicit contextual cuing will affect the Stroop.It is found that there is no significant Stroop effect in repeated scenes,which shows that contextual information has a certain effect on the Stroop.Experiment 2 presents two stimuli in different context according to different proportions.The results show that there is no Stroop effect in the situation where the low probability is not consistent with the same high probability.Experiment 3,the experiment is divided into the practice stage and the test stage.The practice phase is the same as the basic setting of the experiment two.In the test stage,the consistency task and the inconsistency task appear in the proportion of 1:1.The results show that subjects can regulate the cognitive control system by implicit scene information.The experiment 4 is also divided into practice stage and inspection stage.In the inspection stage,there is no task conflict.It was found that there was no difference in reaction time at the test stage.It shows that the regulation of situational cues needs the activation of cognitive conflict,and the implicit contextual cuing effect really regulates cognitive control.
