Here we review studies on the complexity and strength of unconscious information
processing. We focus on empirical evidence that relates awareness of information to …

For as long as half a century the Simon task–in which participants respond to a nonspatial
stimulus feature while ignoring its position–has represented a very popular tool to study a …

Whether fear conditioning can take place without contingency awareness is a topic of
continuing debate and conflicting findings have been reported in the literature. This …

Although previous work has shown that conflict can be detected in the absence of
awareness, it is unknown how different sources of conflict (ie, semantic, response) are …

Recent findings have refuted the common assumption that executive control functions of the
prefrontal cortex exclusively operate consciously, suggesting that many, if not all, cognitive …

Cognitive control allows adapting our behaviour to improve performance. A behavioural
signature of cognitive control is the Gratton effect. This effect is observed in conflict tasks and …

Recently, researchers have been trying to unravel the function of consciousness by
exploring whether unconscious information is (in) capable of exerting cognitive control …

Humans have been shown to be capable of performing many cognitive tasks using
information of which they are not consciously aware. This raises questions about what role …

The purpose of our experiment was to test event-related potentials (ERP) accompanying the
process of brand extension evaluation in people speaking Indo-European languages. The …

Research on the limits of unconscious processing typically relies on the subliminal-prime
paradigm. However, this paradigm is limited in the issues it can address. Here, we examined …
