作者研究了指令是否能在没有练习的情况下导致自主反应的激活。Eriksen和Eriksen（1974）的侧卫兼容性范式被用来证明侧卫兼容性效应（FCE）在刺激-反应指令之后的第一次试验中已经存在，在任何刺激被重复之前。在第一次试验中，即使参与者被强烈地激励去忽略侧翼者，这种FCE仍然存在，而在高工作记忆（WM）负荷的条件下，它就消失了。研究结果表明，由指令形成的意图参与了WM中表征的形成，这种表征类似于准备好的反射（Woodworth, 1938）。本文还讨论了这一发现对意向性和额叶功能的影响。
The authors examined whether instructions can lead to autonomous response activation even without practice. Eriksen and Eriksen's ( 1974) flanker compatibility paradigm was used to show that the flanker compatibility effect (FCE) is already present in the first trials following the stimulus-response instructions, before any of the stimuli have been repeated. This first-trials FCE was present even when participants were strongly motivated to ignore the flankers, and it disappeared under conditions of high working-memory (WM) load. The findings suggest that intention, formed by instructions, is involved in forming representations in WM that operate like a prepared reflex ( Woodworth, 1938). The implications of the finding to intentionality and frontal lobe functions are discussed.
