Repetition costs in word identification: evaluating a stimulus–response integration account

Abstract

Stimulus repetition facilitates performance in many experimental contexts. However, an episodic approach to interpreting repetition effects suggests that repetition effects should depend on how stimuli are encoded. In Experiments 1–3, stimulus repetition in a word identification task led to a cost rather than a benefit in performance, but only when the prime was presented for a relatively long duration. One account of these results is that long prime durations allow integration between stimulus and response codes to occur, which in turn can interfere with responding to a following identical target. In Experiment 4, a stimulus intensity based episodic specificity effect that was insensitive to the proportion of repeated trials supported this stimulus–response integration account.

Although the fact that no errors occurred on identity match trials might raise a concern that repetition costs in RT are caused by a speed–accuracy trade-off, we think this is unlikely to be the case. In particular, note that errors were most frequent for the shortest ISIs, and we noted that almost all of the errors occurred when participants named the prime word rather than the target word, perhaps anticipating an identity match trial. If these prime perseveration ‘errors’ occurred on identity match trials, they would have been indistinguishable from correct responses and therefore not coded as errors. As such, the tendency for participants to make a very occasional error on mismatch trials but not on match trials does not undermine the RT results on which we have based our theoretical discussion.

We thank Mike Wendt for pointing out this issue.

Francis and Milliken (2003) also report a prime duration based change in repetition effect, but in a task requiring line length judgments. Longer duration primes produced larger repetition costs, as in the present study.
