West, Greg L.; Anderson, Adam A. K.; Pratt, Jay – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Previous studies that have found attentional capture effects for stimuli of motivational significance do not directly measure initial attentional deployment, leaving it unclear to what extent these items produce attentional capture. Visual prior entry, as measured by temporal order judgments (TOJs), rests on the premise that allocated attention…
