Optimizing the use of information: Strategic control of activation of responses.
Abstract
Recent studies indicate that Ss may respond to visual information during either an early parallel phase or a later focused phase and that the selection of the relevant phase is data driven. Using the noise-compatability paradigm, the hypothesis that this selection may also be strategic and context driven was tested. At least part of the interference effect observed in this paradigm is due to response activation during the parallel-processing phase. Ss' expectancies for compatible and incompabile noise were manipulated in 4 experiments, and the interference effect was effectively modulated. The results suggest that expectancies about the relative utility of the information extracted during the parallel and focused phases determine which phase is used to activate responses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
