Abstract
Inhibition of return (IOR) refers to a phenomenon that individuals respond more slowly when the target is presented in the previously cued location in a cue-target paradigm. Although there is a large amount of evidence to support the "reorienting hypothesis" of IOR, it is still continuously challenged in the visual single-modal domain. However, it is unclear whether the occurrence of IOR under cross-modality is consistent with the reorienting hypothesis. In the present study, we used a variant of the cue-target paradigm to investigate the effect of attentional orienting as modulated by the central reorienting cue on IOR within the visual modality (Experiment 1) and across auditory-visual modalities (Experiment 2). The results showed that IOR triggered by the peripheral cue and attentional orienting triggered by the central reorienting cue directionality occurred in both the visual single-modal condition and the auditory-visual cross-modal condition, but there was no interaction between them. These results indicated that attentional reorienting may not be the cause of IOR in either single-modal or cross-modal auditory-visual conditions.
返回抑制(Inhibition of return, IOR)是指在线索-目标范式中,当目标出现在先前提示的位置时,个体反应较慢的现象。虽然有大量证据支持IOR的“重定向假说”,但在视觉单模态领域仍不断受到挑战。然而,交叉模态下IOR的发生是否符合重新定向假说尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们使用了一种线索-目标范式的变体来研究中央重定向线索在视觉模态(实验1)和跨听觉-视觉模态(实验2)中调节注意定向对IOR的影响。结果表明:外周线索触发的IOR和中央线索定向触发的注意定向在视觉单模态和听觉-视觉交叉模态条件下均有发生,但两者之间不存在交互作用。这些结果表明,在单模态或跨模态的视听条件下,注意重定向可能不是IOR的原因。
