"The role of decision biases in semantic priming effects": Erratum

Reports an error in the original article by K. Duscherer and D. Holender (Swiss Journal of Psychology - Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Psychologie - Revue Suisse de Psychologie, 2005[Dec], Vol 64[4], 249-258). A misprint occurred in Table 2 on page 256, 3rd column. The last line should read: "23* (23)" instead of "3* (23)". The corrected table is provided in this article. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 2006-03211-003.) At least a part of semantic priming effects observed in binary decision tasks is supposed to be caused by decision biases. A semantic relationship between prime and target could positively bias a "yes" response, whereas the absence of a relationship would instead favour a "no" response to the same target. We tested this assumption with a semantic categorization task in which participants were induced to associate different values--positive, negative, or neutral--to each of the categorization decisions. Although semantic priming effects were obtained even with negatively valued decisions, they were substantially enhanced with positively valued decisions, confirming the influence of a decision bias induced presumptively by a post-lexical relatedness judgement.
