认知需求（NFC）是指认知动机中的性格差异，经常被发现可以预测高阶认知，例如态度形成和决策。根据最近的证据，这项研究检验了 NFC 是否已经与相对早期的感知过程相关。使用元对比掩蔽范式（N = 137），我们发现高 NFC 个体更有可能使用特定目标的感知线索来为目标辨别提供有效信息，而低 NFC 个体更有可能使用不太可靠的启发式线索进行判断。有趣的是，我们的结果表明，NFC 的核心机制（通过环境线索的差异利用进行的集中/精细处理与外围/启发式处理）不仅可以在反射性高阶认知中找到，而且可以在早期视觉处理的行为指标中找到。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Need for cognition (NFC) refers to dispositional differences in cognitive motivation and has been frequently found to predict higher-order cognition, such as attitude formation and decision making. Based on recent evidence, this study examined whether NFC already relates to relatively early perceptual processes. Using a metacontrast masking paradigm (N = 137), we found that high-NFC individuals were more likely to use target-specific perceptual cues providing valid information for target discrimination, while low-NFC individuals were more likely to use less reliable heuristic cues for their judgement. Intriguingly, our results suggest that core mechanisms of NFC (focussed/elaborative vs. peripheral/heuristic processing by differential utilization of environmental cues) can not only be found in reflective higher-order cognition, but similarly in behavioral indicators of early visual processing.
