Abstract: To explore the signal function of conflict and investigate the impact how conflict plays on subsequent cognitive processing in early perceptual stage, the study used a combination of Stroop task and affective priming paradigm and adapted 2(prime condition: nonconflict/conflict) ×2(target valence: positive/negative) within subject design when the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) is 200ms. In affective priming task, the RTs of negative targets after conflict primes were significant less than after nonconflict primes while the RTs of positive targets after nonconflict primes were significant less than conflict primes, showed significant negative priming effect. This study showed that cognitive conflict was viewed as a negative signal and induced negative priming effect in early perceptual processing, so it plays a negative influence on subsequent emotional processing.

Key words: cognitive conflict, cognitive control, priming effect
