"We know that the more familiar a stimulus is, the more automatic processing of information will take the upper hand," he adds.
Such findings may suggest that earlier fluency enables more automatic processing in anterior regions (Mayberry et al., 2011).
As one gains greater control over a language, both performance and the underlying neural substrates change to reflect increased proficiency, and presumably, more automatic processing [2], [4], [8], [10], [32] [34].
This hypothesis has received support from both emotional [8] and non-emotional language [25], [35], [36] investigations that report BG involvement during "late" evaluative, integration, and recognition related responses, but no such involvement in early, more automatic processing stages (but see [37] for rare evidence on impaired early sensory processing in PD patients).
Although both DCCs track and manage incoming data, we implemented more automatic processing dependent on CVs, which required a more complex job management system.
Cognitive models of body image disturbance predict that females who possess detailed mental representations of their body image (called body image schemas) will demonstrate more automatic processing of body-related stimuli [e.g., [ 28, 29]].
For example, Sloman [6] has suggested that people will detect conflicts because they always simultaneously engage in more automatic intuitive processing and demanding analytic-logical processing.
This is followed by more fluent automatic processing, requiring less deliberation.
In this case, controlled, conscious processing proved to be more important than automatic processing.
In the "immediate" condition, in fact, conscious processing proved to be more influential than automatic processing.
We assumed RSVP to be an appropriate tool to investigate word processing in dyslexia, since it allows setting focus on early, more automatic aspects of word processing induced by visual word stimuli.
