  • Title: Parallel allocation of attention prior to the execution of saccade sequences.
    Author: Godijn R, Theeuwes J.
    Journal: J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform; 2003 Oct; 29(5):882-96. PubMed ID: 14585012.
    Abstract:
    In a series of 5 experiments, the allocation of attention prior to the execution of saccade sequences was examined by using a dual-task paradigm. In the primary task, participants were required to execute a sequence of 2 endogenous saccades. The secondary task was a forced-choice letter identification task. During the programming of the saccade sequences, letters were briefly presented at the saccade goals and at no-saccade locations. The results showed that performance was better for letters presented at any of the saccade goals than for letters presented at any of the no-saccade locations. The results support a spatial model that assumes that prior to the execution of a saccade sequence, attention is allocated in parallel to all saccade goals. ((c) 2003 APA, all rights reserved)
