Abstract: This study concerns the neural mechanisms of the cueing effects on categorization of pictures by using ERP technique.It contains two tasks:judgements of the round/square geometry figures and animals/non-animals. Before each trial,a cue was presented.There are three kinds of cues:valid,invalid and neural ones.As a result, we found the cueing effects on targets:(1)Valid cueing facilitates the perceptual processing of the subsequent targets,which showed by the smaller amplitude of early ERP components.(2)Valid cueing limit the processing of the targets on the certain task,which showed by the larger amplitude of later ERP component's.Valid cueing increases the efficiency of the targets identification,facilitates transmission of information to subsequent categorization stages,where increased neural activity leads to behavioral benefits.To some certain,this study gives advice for improvement of learning and memory.

Key words: Cueing effects, Categorization, Cognition, ERPs(event-related potentials)
