{"pk":24819,"title":"Does familiarity drive the self-prioritization effects in attentional processing? Evidence from the Attentional Blink Task.","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Previous research with suggests that individuals show prioritized processing for self-referenced stimuli, from self-faces, self-names to momentarily associated arbitrary geometrical shapes. We asked our participants to perform an attentional blink task with self-associated arbitrary geometrical shapes and self-names where these stimuli were either presented as T1(Exp 1A & 2A) or T2 (Exp 1B & 2B). Given that the self-referential shapes would engage more resources a larger attentional blink was expected in Exp1A & 2A, and was found for self-names(2A) as compared to self shapes (1A); however no difference between shapes & names was found when these were presented as the T2 ( Exp 1B & 2B. We conclude that the higher familiarity of self-names drove the larger attentional blink observed with these stimuli and manifested in a bias relative to the control stimuli which were friend and stranger referenced stimuli.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Attention; Social cognition"}],"section":"Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1v02r87v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"DIPANJALI","middle_name":"","last_name":"YADAV","name_suffix":"","institution":"I.I.T KANPUR","department":""},{"first_name":"Ark","middle_name":"","last_name":"Verma","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24819/galley/21099/download/"},"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24819/galley/14417/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24819/galley/18273/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24819/galley/21099/download/"}]}
