1098.81 Affective priming: Effects of stimuli’s volumes and repetition, Jiuqing Cheng,
Xiangping Gao, Shanghai Normal University, China
The research tested affective primacy hypothesis through hearing. Chinese material was adopted
as prime stimuli in present experiment and subjects were asked to make positive-negative ratings
on unfamiliar French sentences in conditions where volumes were either beyond acoustic limen or
under it. The results demonstrate that unconscious affective priming with volumes under limen
emerges strongly while conscious affective priming is not obvious possibly because of instructions
and guesses of subjects. We also find a trend that repetition of stimuli which are outside of
conscious awareness can cause more salient unconscious affective priming but this trend does not
exist in conscious condition.

Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China
We dissociated the conscious and unconscious perception according to the pattern of Stroop effect
in each block and compared their ERP result. We found there is a significant difference on N120,
which is mainly distributed on the parietal and frontal lobe of the brain. This indicated that maybe
at the early stage (about 120ms after the stimulus), the difference between conscious and
unconscious perception has come into being. We also observed the difference on P400, which is
distributed on the parietal lobe. This difference probably reflects the different influence of
conscious and unconscious perception to the later cognitive process.
1098.83 Research on representation mechanisms and age differences of implicit learning of
sequence knowledge, Ying Lin, Management School of Fudan University, China
Representation mechanisms of implicit learning of sequence knowledge was discussed by testing
the effects of aging in this article. 31 students in Grade Two of primary school, 70 sophomores,
and 25 retired old persons were involved. Two results were obtained: (1) Both association
mechanism and hierarchical encoding mechanism work in the implicit learning process of
sequence knowledge, and the latter plays more important role. (2) No significant difference of
implicit learning is found among the three groups of subjects in different ages, that supports the
first result indirectly.
1098.84 Effect of encoding-processes on subliminal priming in Chinese lexical judgment, Rende
Shui, Yinli Liu, Zhejiang University, China
Two experiments examined whether orthographical, semantic coding, or both, affects the
subliminal priming in Chinese character judgment task. Each experiment contained two phases: in
phase 1, subjects were required to judge whether briefly presented Chinese character (prime) is
orthographically (or semantically, in another group) similar to the following showed Chinese
character (target) (experiment 1), or is the same one (experiment 2); in phase 2, to judge whether
the target is or not a Chinese character. The results showed that the subliminal priming is
depended on the factors of encoding-process, prime-target relationship, and the level of activation.
