Abstract

Abstract 24 Ss were told that they were participating in a signal detection task. Some of the signals were “taboo” words, and others were structurally similar words, unrelated words, and taboo and unrelated words played backwards. The taboo words had a significantly lower rate of detection than all other signals, which did not differ significantly in their detectability. The results indicated auditory perceptual defencesince the experiment was designed to make interpretations of the results in terms of response suppression etc., implausible.
