Where this record's text came from. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (pdftext); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. Replication status 'failed' records the paper's own attempted reproduction of the Almeida-line category priming effect, which the authors describe as 'this failure to reproduce previous results'; the paper's own positive finding (shape priming) is itself untested by others, and the wider question is described by the authors as unsettled ('the current CFS literature sketches an increasingly fuzzy picture of the extent to which highlevel unconscious visual processing is possible under CFS'). The paper also states the broader conclusion 'Quotation withheld.' The extraction contains PDF artefacts such as '(cid:3)' for minus signs and mangled umlauts in author affiliations; none of my quotes contain those regions. Two other quoted sentences end mid-sentence where a citation parenthesis follows; they are exact substrings, not paraphrases. 2026-08-19 and 2026-08-25 schema-0.3 passes: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node.
Some quotes on this page contain (cid:NN). The PDF this text was extracted from encodes 29 characters in a way that names no letter, so the extractor could not say what they were. The quotes keep them because a quote is reproduced exactly or it proves nothing — the marks are the source’s, not the tagging’s.
How to read this page. The article itself is not reproduced here — this paper is not cleared for redistribution, so what follows is the tag layer alone. The evidence sentences are withheld with the article. The table at the foot lists every tag the record carries; each row names the facet it belongs to, and the whose words column says whether the tag records the paper's own wording or the tagger's sentence about the paper. Every tag links to each other paper in the corpus carrying it. The machine-readable edition of the same thing is the TEI file beside this one, where the tags live in standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.

Tags on this paper

Every tag the record carries, each linking to every other paper in the corpus that carries it. A tag appears here whether or not its words occur in the article — the spans below are only the ones a sentence in this paper licenses. Of the 4 concept tags on this paper, all 4 are grounded in a quoted sentence. All carry the tagger's gloss of what the term means in this paper, which is not something the article can license.
CFS shape task category task priming The task set tunes unconscious processing: a category task desensitizes the pathways coding prime elongation while a shape task, needing only attention to basic visual features, sensitizes them and so lets the priming effect emerge Attentional sensitization by task set raises the sensitivity of task-relevant pathways and lowers that of task-irrelevant ones, which is the process offered for why priming appears in one task and not the other continuous flash suppression (CFS) dorsal CFS bias elongated stimuli nonelongated stimuli task instruction subjective visibility rating prime contrast low-level image properties target elongation repeated-measures ANOVA t-test paired t tests power analysis effect size the associated effect sizes based on the mean and standard deviation of difference binomial test submitted to binomial tests correlation Pearson correlation coefficients interquartile range (outlier rule) standard deviation more than three standard deviations above or below the mean standard error of the mean behavioural-experiment

The paper

The full text is not reproduced here. This article is not cleared for redistribution, so the page carries the tag layer only. Its evidence sentences are withheld; the grounding status remains with each tag, and the article itself is at https://doi.org/10.1167/16.3.17. The reading view exists for the papers whose licence permits it.

Every tag on this page

Relations on this page carry a quotation for the claim. Where a relation was separately evidenced — and so tested against the vocabulary for its type — the row says so; none of 2 relations here carry that mark. The rest are the tagger’s reading of the sentence quoted beside them.

sensesA NULL AND AN EFFECT IN ONE SENTENCE, WHICH IS WHY THE NULL CANNOT BE DISMISSED: `we found evidence for priming in a shape task, but none for priming in a category task, when prime stimuli were rendered invisible using CFS.` The corpus's second powered priming null after bamberger2024, and a stronger one - there the whole result was a null and the authors had to name reasons the manipulation might have failed. Here the null is HALF OF A WITHIN-PAPER CONTRAST: same primes, same suppression, same subjects, and the other task showed the effect. A failed manipulation cannot produce that

sensesAND THE CONCLUSION IS A RESTRICTION ON A METHOD THE FIELD HAS BEEN EXPANDING: `Quotation withheld.` The introduction records that CFS has been called a `game changer` for its `seemingly unlimited potential to present various kinds of visual stimuli unconsciously`.

sensesAND THEY DECLINE TO OVER-READ THE POSITIVE HALF, WHICH IS RARER THAN REPORTING THE NULL: `Quotation withheld.` The effect they DID find does not fit the obvious account.

senses[2]0.95the tagger's words
sensesAND THE MECHANISM OFFERED IS MARKED AS SPECULATION INSIDE ITS OWN SENTENCE: `SPECULATIVELY, the category task might have DESENSITIZED perceptual pathways related to the processing of prime elongation and thus diminished category-by-shape priming; by contrast, the shape task - requiring only attention to basic visual features - SENSITIZED perceptual pathways.` Attentional sensitization as a TASK-SET effect (Kiefer 2012). If it holds, every masked-priming null in the literature is conditional on the task used to measure it - which would make the measurement instrument part of the phenomenon, and is the strongest version of what this corpus keeps finding one record at a time

direction on the measure: no-change · strength of the relation: 0.9 · note: 'no-change' ON THE CATEGORY TASK, AND THE SHAPE TASK IS THE CONTROL THAT MAKES IT MEAN SOMETHING. The same quote carries both halves: priming survives suppression in one task and not the other. Recording only the surviving half would say CFS leaves priming intact; recording only the null would say it abolishes it; both are wrong and the sentence says so. The measure-construct ambiguity does not arise - the measured quantity and the construct move together - but the direction gap does: the direction is conditioned on the task, and there is no way to say that on an edge.

NOT repaired: the cid-to-character mapping is defined by the font embedded in that particular PDF, so guessing it would produce a clean and unverifiable quote. Repair needs the source PDF and is a re-staging job. · value source note: The value is written with a minus sign. Our copy of the text prints '(cid:3)' ('11 and (cid:3)12 ms'). We hold no PDF of this paper, and the character alone does not settle the sign: the same printed character is a minus in this paper's other sentences where the sense requires one, and an earlier sentence in the same paragraph names the two effects as a facilitatory one and 'a reversed (albeit not robust) RT difference' - so the second figure is the reversed, negative one.

about this quote: THE MATHS LAYER OF THE STAGED TEXT WAS MOJIBAKE AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED. This paper's extraction rendered '=' as U+00BC (the vulgar fraction one quarter) and '+' as U+00FE (thorn), so the quote read 'p ¼ 0.01' where the paper says 'p = 0.01'. It passed every check we own, because the staged text said the same wrong thing: the offsets were right and the recorded hash of the staged text matched. Repaired only where the character stands in an operator's place - spaced, with a number after it - because the same U+00BC is a REAL QUARTER in six other papers ('a ¼ inch condenser microphone'). Original in evidence as extracted, pre-repair file in an internal file.

What was deliberately not tagged, and why, is recorded per paper by the tagger. Where a paper has no such record, this page says so rather than implying that nothing was declined.
