We investigate the validity of subliminal affective priming (SAP), whereby a response (i.e. a valence judgement) is influenced by a preceding stimulus presented without conscious awareness. In this second part to the study, we employ the spatial crowding method, whereby conscious awareness is manipulated parametrically using differing degrees of eccentricity, in combination with both objective (2-alternative-forced-choice) and subjective (Perceptual Awareness Scale) measures of prime awareness.
