Abstract text:	Subliminal category priming is one of the most reliable effects of nonconscious perception: The decision whether a probe belongs to one of two categories is facilitated when a subliminal prime preceding the probe belongs to the same category as the probe. It is common practice to use the same stimuli as visible probes and as subliminal primes. In this case, categorical priming may be dominated by episodic influences: Subliminal primes that were previously categorized as visible probes are prone to long-lag priming (called here episodic priming). We present a study that investigated the extent and nature of episodic components in category priming. Words were classified as positive or negative, and episodic priming was controlled (a) by varying the training given before the priming test, which familiarizes participants with the stimuli, and (b) by using a set of primes that were not shown as probes during test. Results suggest that episodic priming is a substantial component in category priming and that it is linked to mental classification of the probes.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
