“…While there are no reports of inhibition of return to attributes other than location, there are somewhat similar interference effects due to the repetition of attributes presented in a temporal (Kanwisher, 1987) or spatial manner (Bjork & Murray, 1977;Egeth & Santee, 1981;Estes, 1982;Kim & Kwak, 1990;Santee & Egeth, 1980). When letters or words are presented in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP), subjects often have difficulty in identifying a repeated letter (called repetition blindness; see Kanwisher, 1987;Kanwisher & Potter, 1990).…”

Simple reaction time to a light target may be lengthened when the light is preceded by a noninformative stimulus at the same location. This is known as inhibition ofreturn. Does inhibition of return result if the relation between successive stimuli is defined in terms of color or orientation? Subjects pressed a key when a small square was displayed. In Experiments 1-3, location and color of the square were manipulated; there was inhibition of return based on location, but not on color. In Experiments 4-5, a confounding of color and luminance was eliminated, with no change in results. In Experiments 6-7, the background was composed of vertical stripes and the squares were composed of left-or right-oriented diagonal stripes. There was evidence of inhibition of return based on location, but not on orientation. These data support the idea that location is processed differently from other features.

“…Each subject's correct responses for a form judgment and for a contrast judgment task were analyzed separately. Subjects' performance in the latter task was examined because brightness contrast has, according to Garner's (1978a) definition of stimulus attributes, a dimensional attribute and hence might be expected, on the basis of Kim and Kwak's (1990) results, to produce a PRE at the same time that form judgment responses show an NRE. We first report the results of the analysis of form judgment responses.…”

“…Both mask displays subtended a visual angle of 1.22°v ertically and 1.65° horizontally. For two-item displays, two alternative targets, ( and t, that had been used by Kim and Kwak (1990) were drawn with a Rotering pen. The remaining positions on a target display were filled with # signs typed on a Smith Corona typewriter.…”

“…Using displays of two noise elements rather than only one, Estes (1982) has further shown that the PRE arises from changing response criteria on the basis of noise information. Kim and Kwak (1990) discovered that much of the literature's complexity on stimulus repetition effects might be due to a failure to distinguish between two different classes of stimulus attributes in a Gamerian (Gamer, 1978a(Gamer, , 1978b sense, that is, dimensional and featural attributes. Each stimulus in a dimensional set (e.g., letters b, d, p, and q) has an identical number of elements and differs from the other stimuli only in the configuration of its elements.…”

Time courses of the negative repetition effect (NRE), a poorer detection of the target in noise-same-as-target than in noise-alternative-target displays, and its opposite, the positive repetition effect (PRE), were examined. Experiment 1 showed that displays in which a low-contrast target was present with a high-contrast noise produced a larger NRE than did displays in which a contrast relationship between items was reversed. A negative contrast repetition effect (NCRE) was also found that was comparable to the NRE. Experiment 2 showed that dimensional Korean letters (e.g., [symbol: see text]) whose configural differences were apparent in orientation produced the largest PRE at a 0-ms stimulus onset asynchrony, whereas featural Korean letters (e.g., [symbol: see text]) that differed in the number of elements yielded the largest NRE when a noise letter preceded a target letter by 50 ms. Experiments 3A and 3B indicated that the NCRE may arise from spatial attention.

The amount of information available to our senses greatly exceeds the information processing capacity of our brain. This chapter reviews what is known about how the selectivity of attention allows us to deal with this overload. One major focus of the chapter concerns the efficiency of selection. A discussion of early research that was driven by the question of whether selection was early or late in the information processing stream is followed by a more general consideration of the factors affecting the efficiency of attentional selectivity. The extensive evidence that selection of stimuli appears to be mediated by spatial location is reviewed, as well as more recent research suggesting that other bases for selection may be used. The other major focus of the chapter concerns the extent to which unattended portions of the visual field are processed. We consider here two general approaches to the study of “preattentive” processing: divided attention tasks in which preattentive processes may be performed in parallel with attention widely distributed over the visual field and dual task paradigms in which a preattentive task is one that can proceed when attention is presumably exhausted by some other task. We consider the implications of recent studies on change blindness, inattentional blindness, repetition blindness, and the attentional blink.
