Abstract: Research using the masked priming paradigm proved that negative compatibility effect exists, confirming the effect of unconscious priming stimulus on target response. However, whether the effect is dependent on the masking stimulus is still a fierce controversy. The author manipulated the time intervals between prime and target in non-masked priming paradigm, investigating the key point the negative compatibility effect occurring. The results found that: (1) negative compatibility effect existed without the masking paradigm; (2) compatibility effect changed with the way the stimulus presented. It indicates that negative compatibility effect is not dependent on the masking and that the stimulus presentation has a great impact on the effect.

Key words: negative compatibility effect, masking, Evaluation Account
