Is response priming based on surface color? Response to Skrzypulec (2021)
Skrzypulec (2021) raises the question whether motor activation by masked color primes is based on the same type of color representation as conscious vision. He postulates that the literature on color processing without awareness makes an implicit assumption that "conscious" and "unconscious" color representations have the same properties, in which case priming by masked color stimuli would indeed indicate that the same complex representation of surface color can be conscious as well as unconscious. I review some evidence from response priming by lightness stimuli in the context of a visual illusion that alters the perceived lightness of the primes (Schmidt et al., 2010). Those results clearly show that response priming is not driven by color-constant information but instead by local image contrast, making it unlikely that rapid response activation by color primes is based on a color-constant representation of surface color.

In response priming tasks, speeded responses are performed toward target stimuli preceded by prime stimuli. Responses are slower and error rates are higher when prime and target are assigned to different responses, compa…
Response Attack: Exploiting Contextual Priming to Jailbreak Large Language Models
Contextual priming, where earlier stimuli covertly bias later judgments, offers an unexplored attack surface for large language models (LLMs). We uncover a contextual priming vulnerability in which the previous response …

Priming is a well known and studied psychology phenomenon based on the prior presentation of one stimulus (cue) to influence the processing of a response. In this paper, we propose a framework to mimic the process of pri…
