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: '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: The U-shaped metacontrast function may result from the superimposition of
two monotonic components which reflect the effects of mechanisms similar to the
peripheral and central processes suggested for backward pattern masking by Turvey
(Psychol Rev 80:1-52, 1973). In an experiment using the disc-ring paradigm, it
was demonstrated that the decreasing and increasing branches of the metacontrast
function are differently affected by the exposure duration of the mask and a task-irrelevant
stimulus (distractor) appearing in the contralateral visual hemifield. The phenomenal
representation of masking is different for the two parts of the curve. It is suggested
that masking in the second part of the masking function, but not in the first,
is related to the control of visual attention. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016
