Abstract

The present paper aimed to corroborate if a stimulus/word, whose conditioned function through its pairing with high-intensity sounds of short delay type and that elicits responses valued by the subjects as undesired, exerts control of the stimulation as interference or facilitation of response in a semantic primacy test whose target stimuli are words belonging to the desired or unwanted categories. A significant result was obtained in the comparison of the groups by means of the Moses extreme reactions test in incongruous trials, with a greater number of errors being observed in the experimental subjects of the conditioned group, however, no significant differences were found for the number of errors in trials congruent and latencies in none of the cases. The discussion explains the possible reasons why, unlike the research history, no confirmatory results were obtained regarding latencies, including the meaning and differences between the undesirability of the conditioned stimulus in relation to the desirability and undesirability of the Target stimuli of the test, likewise, control problems, given some instrumental limitations.
