Abstract

The attentional blink (AB) phenomenon is a cognitive limitation that refers to the failure in identifying the second target if it follows the first one in close temporal proximity (200-500 ms). However, more recent studies have demonstrated that AB task performance greatly differs among individuals. This behavioral heterogeneity in AB has promoted research on exploring the predictive value of individual differences. The present study examined how AB magnitudes were related to personal cognitive styles. The Embedded Figures Test was carried out to classify participants' cognitive styles, along with the manipulation of the physical characteristics of distractors in the rapid serial visual presentation paradigm (RSVP) as two levels of inhibition (target-distractor similarity). Results from two experiments of varying difficulty revealed that the AB effect varied between field-dependent (FD) and field-independent (FI) individuals. The AB magnitude in FD individuals was more easily influenced by different inhibition levels of distractors, compared to the FI individuals. Results are interpreted in terms of the contemporary theories of AB that highlighted the inhibitory control over attention.

抑制水平对注意闪烁中依赖场和不依赖场的个体的影响

注意闪烁（AB）现象是一种认知限制，是指如果第二个目标紧随第一个目标之后，在时间上距离很近（200-500 毫秒），则无法识别第二个目标。然而，最近的研究表明，AB 任务的表现因人而异。AB 的这种行为异质性促进了对个体差异预测价值的研究。本研究探讨了 AB 大小与个人认知风格的关系。通过嵌入式图形测试对参与者的认知风格进行分类，同时在快速序列视觉呈现范式（RSVP）中对分散注意力者的物理特征进行操作，将其作为两种抑制水平（目标-分散注意力者相似性）。两个难度不同的实验结果显示，AB效应在场强依赖型（FD）和场强非依赖型（FI）个体之间存在差异。与场依存性个体相比，场依存性个体的AB效应幅度更容易受到不同分心物抑制水平的影响。研究结果从当代 AB 理论的角度进行了解释，该理论强调了对注意力的抑制控制。

期刊介绍： Psychological Research/Psychologische Forschung publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of human perception, attention, memory, and action. The Journal is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge based on firm experimental ground, but not to particular approaches or schools of thought. Theoretical and historical papers are welcome to the extent that they serve this general purpose; papers of an applied nature are acceptable if they contribute to basic understanding or serve to bridge the often felt gap between basic and applied research in the field covered by the Journal.
