Evaluative conditioning and the awareness issue: Assessing contingency awareness with the Four-Picture Recognition Test.

Walther, Eva, Nagengast, Benjamin·2006·Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes

Abstract

An experiment is described that tested the moderating influence of contingency awareness on evaluative conditioning. After participants were conditioned within the picture-picture paradigm, contingency awareness was assessed by means of a recognition test (i.e., the 4-picture recognition test). Results indicate an inverse relationship between the conditioned affective reaction and contingency awareness: Only participants classified as unaware in the recognition test showed significant effects of evaluative learning. A closer inspection indicates that aware individuals stored not only the valence but also the nominal stimulus in mind.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Some studies found evidence for memory-independent EC, while other studies did not.

    “Depending on the procedure and analytic approach, some studies found evidence for memory-independent EC (e.g., Hütter & Sweldens 2013, Jurchiș et al. 2020, Walther & Nagengast 2006, Waroquier et al. 2020), while other studies did not (e.g., Kurdi et al. 2022, Mierop et al. 2017, Pleyers et al. 2007, Stahl et al. 2009).”

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.
