Abstract

Loach and Marí-Beffa (Vis Cogn, 10:513–526, 2003) observed that a distractor stimulus, presented immediately after a behaviorally relevant target stimulus, negatively primed a related probe stimulus indicating that the distractor had been inhibited. They argued that “post-target inhibition” may be a mechanism for preventing interference from temporally proximal stimuli; interference that could potentially result in a binding/intrusion error. In order to test this hypothesis, the authors carried out two rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) experiments in which participants had to report either the identity (Experiment 1) or color (Experiment 2) of a target letter surrounded by distractor letters. In Experiment 1, a close relationship between priming and errors was observed. When a distractor stimulus showed evidence of being inhibited the participant was less likely to commit a binding error. The opposite was true when a distractor stimulus showed evidence of being facilitated. The results of Experiment 2 showed limited evidence of the same relationship.

As one reviewer pointed out, it could be argued that an attentional gate opens gradually which could explain the difference in priming and error scores between the T − 2 and T − 1 positions. A similar argument, i.e., a gradual closing of the gate, could be used to explain the differences in priming and error scores between the T + 1 and T + 2 positions.
