Title: Inhibition-of-return at multiple locations in visual space. Author: Wright RD, Richard CM. Journal: Can J Exp Psychol; 1996 Sep; 50(3):324-7. PubMed ID: 9004928. Abstract: Inhibition-of-return is thought to be a visual search phenomenon characterized by delayed responses to targets presented at recently cued or recently fixated locations. We studied this inhibition effect following the simultaneous presentation of multiple location cues. The results indicated that response inhibition can be associated with as many as four locations at the same time. This suggests that a purely oculomotor account of inhibition-of-return is oversimplified. In short, although oculomotor processes appear to play a role in inhibition-of-return they may not tell the whole story about how it occurs because we can only program and execute eye movements to one location at a time.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
