Mental image, Working memory, Attention, ConsciousnessAbstract
The retro-cue effect (RCE) is known in memory tasks to produce an increase in accuracy and decrease in response time. The retro-cue brings the information to the focus of attention in an active state, but it is not known whether it is retrieved as a conscious mental image. In this study, we investigated whether the retro-cue brings the cued item to an active state, allowing its phenomenological consciousness. In each trial, the participants rated the vividness of the retro-cued item and then recognized it. Perceptual visual interference was used to certify the visual nature of the retrieved items. Our results showed a significant RCE in memory recognition, but not in the vividness rating. The mental image vividness and the recognition tasks are based on different cognitive processes and are subject to different interferences, but despite the different cognitive processes, there is a correlation between them.
