Using Chinese characters as the material and a single stimulus in both prime and probe display,this research tested the possibility of negative priming occurrence when visually intact and degraded characters were presented for a brief duration.

The present study modified the classic NP paradigm to "step priming display negative priming paradigm",to separately explore whether the modified paradigm can be used to study inhibition of distrators in selective attention in Experiment 1 and inhibition of irrelative information in memory retrieval in Experiment 2.

The negative priming effect and its mechanism have been a hot topic in cognitive psychology.

Objective: To study the differences of inhibition mechanism between non-depressed subjects and depressed individuals in a negative affective priming task.

With the affective evaluation task,this study examined the differences of the distracor inhibiion mechanism between non-depressed subjects and depressed individuals by using a negative affective priming technique.

Here, discrete particle swam optimization algorithm is introduced to solve the problem of optimal restoration of distribution feeders during cold load pickup.
