  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'
