CONT

[...] le phénomène d'amorçage négatif [...] correspond au fait qu'un élément distracteur survenant lors d'un essai engendre une réponse plus lente s'il devient lui-même la cible lors de l'essai suivant. L'interprétation classique serait que l'élément distracteur a été inhibé lors du premier essai [...] ce qui retarde la réponse quand il devient lui-même cible.
