摘要: Relations between selective attention and perceptual segregation by color were investigated in binary-choice reaction time experiments based on the non search paradigm of Eriksen (1974). In focused conditions (Experiment 1), noise letters flanking a central target letter caused less interference when they differed from color, although carried no information as to whether or not was target. When blocking trials favored strategy dividing 2), benefit accrued difference color. The results supported an attentional interpretation effect demonstrated Experiment 1, implying that improved efficiency focusing
