Circadian modulation of the time course of automatic and controlled semantic processing

Figures & data

Figure 1. Sequence of trials in the category semantic priming task with the short 100-ms SOA (left) and the long 450-, 650- and 850-ms SOAs (right).

Figure 2. Intermediate-type chronotype. Performance at the short (100 ms) and the long (450, 650, and 850 ms) SOAs. (a) Accuracy priming effects. (b) RTs priming effects at the short 100 ms SOA as a function of subblocks. (c) RTs priming effects at the long SOAs. Asterisks indicate statistically significant effects (p < 0.05).

Figure 3. Morning-type participants. Performance at the short (100 ms) and the long (450, 650, and 850 ms) SOAs during optimal and non-optimal times of day. (a) Accuracy priming effects. (b) RTs priming effects. Priming effects did not vary for the three subblocks of the 100-ms SOA; consequently, they are not shown. The letter “a” indicates marginally significant effects (p < 0.10), and asterisks indicate statistically significant effects (p < 0.05).

Figure 4. Evening-type chronotype. Performance at the short (100 ms) and the long (450, 650, and 850 ms) SOAs during optimal and non-optimal times of day. (a) Accuracy priming effects. (b) RTs priming effects. Priming effects did not vary for the three subblocks of the 100-ms SOA; consequently, they are not shown. The letter “a” indicates marginally significant effects (p < 0.10), and asterisks indicate statistically significant effects (p < 0.05).
