People process stimuli that have been arbitrarily associated with the self versus with a
stranger preferentially, but congruence effects can modulate self-prioritization, as when the …

Self-relevant material has been shown to be prioritized over stimuli relating to others (eg,
friend, stranger), generating benefits in attention, memory, and decision-making. What is not …

The preferential processing of self-related information is thought to be driven by its high level
of familiarity. However, some behavioral studies have shown that people may exhibit a …

Personal relevance exerts a powerful influence on decisional processing, such that arbitrary
stimuli associated with the self are classified more rapidly than identical material linked with …

Manual motor responses to newly self-associated as compared with other-associated stimuli
in a matching task are typically enhanced. However, little is known about the representations …

In psychology, self-representation is widely held to guide our cognition and action. Self-
relevant stimuli typically enhance our attention, perception, memory, and decision-making. A …

Prioritizing immediate self (me, now) over distant (other, future) information is an essential
social cognition for effectively guiding actions at hand. Building upon recent research on the …
