Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Three chord-priming experiments in which prime and target chords were presented sequentially were conducted to evaluate the spreading activation model which predicts a facilitation effect on the processing of the target chord in related-prime condition. The results indicated that reaction time (RT) in unrelated-prime condition was significantly longer than in the control (no prime or noise-prime) condition, while there was no significant difference between related and control conditions, irrespective of subjects' tasks (identification on in-tune/out-of-tune decision). Furthermore, the RT in the unrelated condition decreased and approached the RT in the control condition as the SOA between the prime and target increased. These findings can not be explained by the spreading activation model and suggest that some other mechanisms responsible for such a disruption effect should be considered.
