Kihara, Ken; Yagi, Yoshihiko; Takeda, Yuji; Kawahara, Jun I. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
When two targets (T1 and T2) are embedded in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP), T2 is often missed (attentional blink, AB) if T2 follows T1 by less than 500 ms. Some have proposed that inhibition of a distractor following T1 contributes to the AB, but no direct evidence supports this proposal. This study examined distractor inhibition by…
