Indeed, in this experiment self stimuli were presented 72 times while each of the three others' stimuli was presented only 24 times.
The interaction was explained by faster RTs to right self stimuli compared to right others' stimuli (1007 ms vs. 1048 ms, p<.05, see Figure 2).
Once again this interaction was explained by faster RTs to right self stimuli compared to right others' stimuli (831 ms vs. 844 ms, p<.05).
The factor Owner was significant F[(1,23) = 18.66, p<.001, ηp2 = .45], since participants responded faster to others' than to self stimuli (814 vs 997 ms, see Figure 3).
The second variable is the requirement to explicitly recognize self stimuli, which characterizes the second, but not the first and the third experiments.
In infants and the cognitively impaired, the disease has normally been attributed to over-stimulation and under-stimulation from parents and caregivers, causing the individual to seek self-gratification and self-stimulus due to the lack or abundance of external stimuli.
Motor cortex excitability increases associated with non-self stimuli have also been reported during the reading of self descriptive personality-trait words [33].
However, when one compares self-generated stimuli with stimuli with predictable timing, the responses to self-generated stimuli are still further suppressed.
Central processing of oscillatory receptor inputs could contribute to distinguishing self-generated stimuli from external stimuli while maximizing sensitivity to external stimuli.
Some kind of self-perpetuating stimulus of these circuits may explain why familiar tunes like "Y.M.C.A".
