  text: '<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In three experiments, we investigated
    the effect of unconscious social priming on human behavior in a choice reaction
    time task. Photographs of a basketball player passing a ball to the left/right
    were used as target stimuli. Participants had to respond to the pass direction
    either by a whole-body (complex) response or a button-press (simple) response.
    Visually masked stimuli, showing both a task-relevant cue (pass direction) and
    a task-irrelevant, social cue (gaze direction), were used as primes. Subliminal
    social priming was found for kinematic (center of pressure) and chronometric measures
    (response times): gaze direction in the primes affected responses to the pass
    direction in the targets. The social priming effect diminished when gaze information
    was unhelpful or even detrimental to the task. Social priming of a complex behavior
    does not require awareness or intentionality, indicating automatic processing.
    Nevertheless, it can be controlled by top-down, strategic processes.</jats:p>'
