  text: The present study explores the deployment of attention towards nonconscious
    information. It is both theoretically and empirically likely that the deployment
    of attention can be controlled by information which is not consciously registered
    (attentional priming), similar to the control of sensorimotor responses by nonconscious
    information (response priming). However, not much is known about the functional
    basis of attentional priming. The present experiment explore whether and how strongly
    intentions (current action pans) determine whether attention is allocated towards
    invisible information (so called direct parameter specification). The results
    demonstrate that intention-mediated control is possible, but it seems to break
    down easily, that is to provide a weak and non-robust type of control.

  text: 'In the direct parameter specification (DPS) mode of sensorimotor control,
    response parameters can be specified by stimuli that are not consciously perceived
    [Psychological Research/Psychologische Forschung 52 (1990) 207]. DPS is contingent
    on the current intentions. The invisible stimuli can be processed for the purposes
    of sensorimotor control only if they match the actual intentions, for example,
    share task-relevant features. The present experiments explore whether attentional
    capture by masked abrupt-onset stimuli is mediated via DPS. Participants judged
    which of two visual targets appeared first. Masked primes preceded one of the
    targets. The primes were either similar to the targets or not, in shape, or in
    color. Target-like (task-relevant), but not distractor-like (task-irrelevant),
    primes facilitated perceptual latencies of targets trailing at their positions.
    Thus, the latency effects resulted from DPS of an attention shift, rather than
    from bottom-up capture or from top-down '

  text: 'According to the concept of direct parameter specification, nonconsciously
    registered information can be processed to the extent that it matches currently
    active intentions of a person. This prediction was tested and confirmed in the
    current study. Masked visual information provided by peripheral cues led to reaction
    time (RT) effects only if the information specified one of the required responses
    (Experiments 1 and 3). Information delivered by the same masked cues that did
    not match the intentions was not used. However, the same information influenced
    RT if it was provided by visible cues (Experiments 2 and 3). The results suggest
    that the processing of nonconsciously registered information is flexible because
    it is susceptible to the changing intentions of a person. Yet, these processes
    are apparently restricted as nonconsciously registered information cannot be used
    as easily for purposes not corresponding to the currently active intentions as
    better visible information. (PsycINFO '
