  1. Agenda • Syllabus • Defining automaticity • History of automaticity • 3 lineages for 3 types • Methodology • Introspective access • Conceptual , mindset, and sequential priming • Guiding questions for course

  2. Defining automaticity • Defined by what it wasn’t • Either conscious or “not conscious”. If latter, assumed to have all the qualities • False dichotomy – various qualities of automaticity don’t always hang together

  3. Types of automaticity 1. Chronic 2. Temporary 3. Goal Dependent a. Passive priming a. Post-conscious

  4. History of Chronic Automaticity • New Look in perception (Bruner & Postman, 1947) and “perceptual readiness” (1958) • Differences in internal states influence category accessibility • Broadbent early selection (1958) • Treisman later selection (1960) • Norman (1968): it depends on match

  5. History of temporary accessibility or “priming” • Duncker (1945) • Lashley (1951) • Storms (1958) • Segal & Cofer (1960) • Higgins et al. (1977)

  6. History of “goal-dependent” automaticity • James (1890) notion of habit • Shiffrin & Schneider (1977): skill acquisition • Smith (1980’s): applied to social psych issues

  8. Methodology • How to study mind in middle? • Introspective access • Nisbett & Wilson (1977): very limited access • Ericson & Simon (1980): more access than that • Ask right questions • Give them training • Overcome laziness • Think aloud protocol

  9. Methodology • New methods from cognitive psych led to explosion of research • Used to study temporary and chronic effects, both using “priming” methods • Conceptual priming • Subliminal vs supraliminal • Mindset priming • Sequential priming (Neely 1977)
