Stimulus Repetition Effects on Attention to Words and Colors.
Kraut, Alan G.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v7 n6 p1303-11 Dec 1981
Repeated observations of a colored form results in slower reaction-time responses to the familiarized stimulus than to a comparable novel stimulus due to alertness decrement and encoding facilitation. This two-factor theory of repetition was found to hold for words as well as for colors. (Author/BW)
