  text: 'Most models of visuospatial attention include the notion that attention is
    dedicated to a single location in space. However, several researchers have found
    evidence that under appropriate circumstances, attention may be allocated to noncontiguous
    locations (e.g., Awn & Pashler, 2000; Bichot, Cave, & Pashler, 1999; Kramer &
    Hahn, 1995). In the present experiments, the spatial distribution of attention
    was assessed by a novel method, perceptual latency priming: the latency benefit
    of an attended visual stimulus, as compared with a nonattended stimulus. Experiment
    1 assessed whether observers are able to attend to two nonadjacent regions or
    a region of variable size. Experiment 2 tested whether, when two distant locations
    are attended to, the region between them is necessarily also in the focus of attention.
    Two further experiments controlled for objections against the method used and
    replicated the main results of the first two experiments. The experiments showed
    a robust attentional pr'

  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
