Inhibition of return keeps attention from revisiting where it has just been. On valid trials that’s what you have to do – so your RT is slower. Valid InvalidValidInvalid REALY short SOA Not too short SOA
IVs you could add to spatial cueing task Type of cue (central or peripheral) SOA Target appears Left vs. right Any more???
Attentional Blink IV: separation between the two targets --levels (0), 2, 4, 6, 8, seconds IV: target order --levels 1 st or 2 nd DV: Accuracy of detection of targets
Attentional Blink Results Correct detections Seconds in between 1 st and 2 nd letter 1 st letter 2 nd letter
