Are Associative and Propositional Processes Qualitatively Distinct? Comment on Gawronski and Bodenhausen (2006)
Kruglanski, Arie W.; Dechesne, Mark
Psychological Bulletin, v132 n5 p736-739 Sep 2006
The authors comment on B. Gawronski and G. V. Bodenhausen's (2006; see record 2006-10465-003) associative-propositional evaluation model of implicit and explicit attitudes by examining the claims that (a) truth value is attached to propositions but not to associations; (b) pattern activation is qualitatively different from syllogistic structure of arguments; and (c) Pavlovian conditioning may be propositional, whereas evaluative conditioning is not. They conclude that despite surface dissimilarities between implicit and explicit attitudes both may be mediated by the same underlying process.
