This Inquisit script implements a Negative Priming Procedure with affective stimuli. Negative Priming is generally characterized as the implicit memory effect in which actively suppressing information processing of a stimulus can impair processing of related material shortly there after. Negative Affective Priming uses stimuli of different valences (positive vs. negative). It has been used in the study of impaired cognitive processing in depression (Joorman & Gotlib, 2010).
