Inhibition of Return Effect Reversed by Perceptual Load

Abstract:

Perceptual load theory was considered to resolve the conflict between early and late selection models. We investigated whether perceptual load work well using IOR paradigm. The results showed that IOR disappeared in different level of perceptual load. The results indicated the onset time of IOR was influenced by perceptual load, indicating that perceptual load hinder the spatiotemporal correspondence between the cue and target integration.
