  text: 'The Fehrer-Raab effect (simple reaction time is unaffected by metacontrast
    masking of the test stimulus) seems to imply that a stimulus can trigger a voluntary
    reaction without reaching a conscious representation. However, it is also possible
    that the mask triggers the reaction, and that the masked test stimulus causes
    a focussing of attention from which processing of the mask profits, thus reaching
    conscious representation earlier. This is predicted by the Weather Station Model
    of visual masking. Three experiments tested this explanation. Experiment 1 showed
    that the masked test stimulus caused a temporal shift of the mask. Experiment
    2 showed that the reaction in the Fehrer-Raab effect was not exclusively triggered
    by a conscious representation of the test stimulus: the mask was involved in evoking
    the reaction. Experiment 3 again revealed a temporal shift of the mask. However,
    the shift was only about half as large as the Fehrer-Raab effect. The psychometric
    functions suggested tha'

  text: Four experiments investigated the influence of a metacontrast-masked prime
    on temporal order judgments. The main results were (1) that a masked prime reduced
    the latency of the mask's conscious perception (perceptual latency priming), (2)
    that this effect was independent of whether the prime suffered strong or weak
    masking, (3) that it was unaffected by the degree of visual similarity between
    the prime and the mask, and that (4) there was no difference between congruent
    and incongruent primes. Finding (1) suggests that location cueing affects not
    only response times but also the latency of conscious perception. (2) The finding
    that priming was unaffected by the prime's detectability argues against a response
    bias interpretation of this effect. (3) Since visual similarity had no effect
    on the prime's efficiency, it is unlikely that sensory priming was involved. (4)
    The lack of a divergence between the effects of congruent and incongruent primes
    implies a functional difference between t
