  text: The spatial distribution of visual attention is a yet unresolved question.
    One of the main topics is whether attention is distributed in a graded fashion
    around an attended location (e.g., Downing, 1988; Zimba & Hughes, 1987). The present
    experiments explore whether, and on which conditions, gradients of attention arise
    and contribute to perceptual facilitation. A masked or unmasked prime precedes
    one of two targets whose temporal order has to be judged. The prime captures attention,
    which shortens the perceptual latency of the primed target (perceptual latency
    priming; Scharlau & Neumann, 2003a; Shore, Spence, & Klein, 2001). No strong evidence
    for an attentional gradient was found. (1) Accuracy of temporal order judgements
    was independent of the distance between the two targets that were judged. That
    is, facilitation of the second target by the first target was spatially invariant.
    (2) With targets of short duration, facilitation was independent of prime-target
    distance. (3) With ta
