Abstract

) as either matching or nonmatching with the previously learned association. In both experiments, a clear self-prioritization effect emerged in the self-symmetry/stranger-asymmetry condition whereas, strikingly, no evidence of a self-prioritization effect emerged at all in the opposite condition. The results suggest that the self-prioritization effect is not mandatory and can be modulated by the valence of the stimuli with which self and stranger are associated.
