Three experiments were designed to determine whether naming is contingent on locating in a visual search task. Subjects were required to identify a masked target whose location was known (IIL) or unknown (I) and to locate a masked target whose identity was known (LII) or unknown (L). The location-contingent hypothesis predicts a relationship among the tasks such that P(L) P(I1L) =P(I), since P(1) and P(L) P(1IL) both estimate the joint probability of identifying and locating the target (i.e. P(1nL)). This relationship held in Experiment I where targets were presented alone, and in Experiment I1 where targets were presented with dots as noise elements, but not in Experiment I11 where Xs were noise elements. The results are discussed in terms of the generality of the location-contingent hypothesis.

On the independence of naming and locating masked targets in visual search.

Twelve Ss were required to name or locate masked letters in arrays containing noise elements. Accuracy in locating was lower when target letters were presented among Vs than when presented among triangles or with no noise. Naming was as accurate when Vs and triangles were presented with the target as when no noise was presented. Since noise did not affect naming in the same way it affected loca...
