Distractor Detection and Suppression Have a Beneficial Effect on Attentional Blink
BACKGROUND Attentional blink (AB) is a phenomenon that describes the difficulty individuals have in reporting the second of two masked targets if the second target (T2) arrives 200-500 ms after the first target (T1). Recent studies explain the AB from cognitive resources limitation to distractors interference. For example, the temporary loss of control (TLC) hypothesis suggests that the AB is c...
متن کاملAttentional Mechanisms of Distractor Suppression
The ability to suppress distractors is critical for the successful completion of goal-oriented behaviors. This is particularly true for everyday behaviors that take time to accomplish and are frequently interrupted by unpredicted events (e.g., spotting a sale on a favorite drink while searching a grocery store for an apple). For one to continue with the intended goal, attention to the distracto...
متن کاملAttentional selection by distractor suppression
Selective attention was studied in displays containing singletons popping out for their odd form or color. The target was defined as the form-singleton, the distractor as the color-singleton. The task was to discriminate the length of a longer line inside the target. Target-distractor similarity was controlled using a threshold measurement as dependent variable in experiments in which distracto...
متن کاملOn the failure of distractor inhibition in the attentional blink.
We investigated whether a failure of distractor inhibition contributes to the magnitude of the attentional blink (AB). Subjects viewed dual-target rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) streams, where the distractors that directly preceded and succeeded Target 2 (T2-1, T2+ 1) were either identical to each other or different. Previously, Dux, Coltheart, and Harris (2006) found enhanced target r...
متن کاملOn the Blink: The Importance of Target-Distractor Similarity in Eliciting an Attentional Blink with Faces
Temporal allocation of attention is often investigated with a paradigm in which two relevant target items are presented in a rapid sequence of irrelevant distractors. The term Attentional Blink (AB) denotes a transient impairment of awareness for the second of these two target items when presented close in time. Experimental studies reported that the AB is reduced when the second target is emot...
