Document Summary
Social cognition- how we think about social world. 2 ways: explicit processing- conscious, typically effortful and intentional. Procedure- report stream of consciousness aloud to tape recorder. Expression- try to think about a white bear. Suppression- try not to think of a white bear. Procedure- ring bell when you think of a white bear. 2nd 5 minute period: receive other set of instruction, either expression or suppression. 3rd 5 minutes period: dv = number of bell rings. Implicit monitoring & explicit correction- when conscious suppression stops, implicit search can continue. Becoming more likely to think about it cognitively busy only interferes with explicit. Research- encouraging insomniacs to stay awake helps sleep. Also trying to think about something is easier than trying not to think about something.
