Immediately following an event at a peripheral location there is facilitation for the processing
of other stimuli near that location. This is said to reflect a reflexive shift of attention towards …

This paper is conceived as a guide that will describe the very well known Spatial Orienting
paradigm, used to explore attentional processes in healthy individuals as well as in people …

Using overt orienting, participants searched a complex visual scene for a camouflaged
target (Waldo from the “Where's Waldo?™” books). After several saccades, we presented an …

What does inhibition in psychology mean? Most psychologists have presupposed that its
meaning in psychology is practically the same as in physiology. They begin with illustrations …

The law of prior entry was one of EB Titchener's seven fundamental laws of attention.
According to Titchener (1908, p. 251):“the object of attention comes to consciousness more …

Inhibition of return (IOR) refers to slowed reaction times (RTs) when a target appears in the
same rather than a different location as a preceding stimulus. The present study tested the …

Unpredictive visual transient cues have a biphasic effect on reaction times (RTs) to
peripheral onset targets. At relatively short (eg, 150-msec) cue-target stimulus onset …

Immediately after a stimulus appears in the visual field, there is often a short period of
facilitated processing of stimuli at or near this location. This period is followed by one in …

Research on temporal-order judgments, reference frames, discrimination tasks, and links to
oculomotor control suggest important differences between inhibition of return (IOR) and …

The ability to perceive temporal order for pairs of auditory and visual stimuli was investigated
in 12 volunteers. They were asked to make judgements about the order of presented stimuli …
