Abstract

In location-precuing experiments, accuracy in discrimination of T-like characters improves with increasing time between the precue and the target. In this experiment, two central and two peripheral cue locations were examined using 13 different cue-target intervals from 0 to 234 msec. Accuracy was the same when trials were cued from the two peripheral locations (two thirds distance between fixation and target or distal to the target location). Centrally cued trials (cues at fixation or next to fixation) resulted in slower onset of attentional effects than peripherally cued trials, but there was greater accuracy at long cue-target intervals for central than for peripheral cues. Data are compared to previously published research.
