The Self-Prioritization Effect: Self-referential processing in movement highlights modulation at multiple stages.

ABSTRACT: A wealth of recent research supports the validity of the Self-Prioritization Effect (SPE)-the performance advantage for responses to self-associated as compared with other-person-associated stimuli in a shape-label matching task. However, inconsistent findings have been reported regarding the particular stage(s) of information processing that are influenced. In one account, self-prioritization modulates multiple stages of processing, whereas according to a competing account, self-prioritization is driven solely by a modulation in central-stage information-processing. To decide between these two possibilities, the present study tested whether the self-advantage in arm movements previously reported could reflect a response bias using visual feedback (Experiment 1), or approach motivation pro
