Mitchell, Chris J.; Wardle, Susan G.; Lovibond, Peter F.; Weidemann, Gabrielle; Chang, Betty P. I. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
In 3 experiments, we examined Perruchet, Cleeremans, and Destrebecqz's (2006) double dissociation of cued reaction time (RT) and target expectancy. In this design, participants receive a tone on every trial and are required to respond as quickly as possible to a square presented on 50% of those trials (a partial reinforcement schedule).…

Barrett, Louise C.; Livesey, Evan J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Perruchet, Cleeremans, and Destrebecqz (2006) reported a striking dissociation between trends in the conscious expectancy of an event and the speed of a response that is cued by that event. They argued that this indicates the operation of independent processes in human associative learning. However, there remains a strong possibility that this…

Livesey, Evan J.; Harris, Irina M.; Harris, Justin A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Participants in 2 experiments performed 2 simultaneous tasks: one, a dual-target detection task within a rapid sequence of target and distractor letters; the other, a cued reaction time task requiring participants to make a cued left-right response immediately after each letter sequence. Under these rapid visual presentation conditions, it is…
