Résumé
The ability to habituate to pain may be adaptive, and it may enable us to pursue valuable goals despite the pain. In this study, we experimentally investigated this idea using the primary task paradigm in which participants had to identify the color of a circle (blue or yellow) as quickly as possible while ignoring painful or tactile distractors that are presented on some of the trials. In the first experiment, we were interested whether the attentional interference effect because of the presentation of the distractors and its habituation would differ between painful and tactile distractor stimuli. In the second experiment, we investigated dishabituation (ie, the phenomenon that the introduction of a different stimulus results in an increase of the decremented response to the original stimulus). We expected habituation of the attentional interference to occur both in the tactile and the painful distractor condition, but to be less complete in the painful condition. Moreover, we hypothesized that the dishabituation would be stronger for the painful than for the tactile distractors. We did find evidence for an interference effect because of the presence of distractors. We also found habituation of attentional interference. However, the interference and its habituation were no different for tactile and painful distractors. Moreover, we did not find evidence for dishabituation. These are the first studies of their kind. Implications and guidelines for future research are formulated.
