  text: Selective visual attention improves performance in many tasks. Among others,
    it leads to 'prior entry'—earlier perception of an attended compared to an unattended
    stimulus. Whether this phenomenon is purely based on an increase of the processing
    rate of the attended stimulus or if a decrease in the processing rate of the unattended
    stimulus also contributes to the effect is, up to now, unanswered. Here we describe
    a novel approach to this question based on Bundesen’s Theory of Visual Attention,
    which we use to overcome the limitations of earlier prior-entry assessment with
    temporal order judgments (TOJs) that only allow relative statements regarding
    the processing speed of attended and unattended stimuli. Prevalent models of prior
    entry in TOJs either indirectly predict a pure acceleration or cannot model the
    difference between acceleration and deceleration. In a paradigm that combines
    a letter-identification task with TOJs, we show that indeed acceleration of the
    attended and deceler

  text: In three experiments, we tested whether sequentially coding two visual stimuli
    can create a spatial misperception of a visual moving stimulus. In Experiment
    1, we showed that a spatial misperception, the flash-lag effect, is accompanied
    by a similar temporal misperception of first perceiving the flash and only then
    a change of the moving stimulus, when in fact the two events were exactly simultaneous.
    In Experiment 2, we demonstrated that when the spatial misperception of a flash-lag
    effect is absent, the temporal misperception is also absent. In Experiment 3,
    we extended these findings and showed that if the stimulus conditions require
    coding first a flash and subsequently a nearby moving stimulus, a spatial flash-lag
    effect is found, with the position of the moving stimulus being misperceived as
    shifted in the direction of its motion, whereas this spatial misperception is
    reversed so that the moving stimulus is misperceived as shifted in a direction
    opposite to its motion when the c

  text: 'When two targets are presented in rapid succession, the first target (T1)
    is usually identified, but the second target (T2) is often missed. A remarkable
    exception to this ''attentional blink'' occurs when T2 immediately follows the
    first T1, at lag 1. It is then often spared but reported in the wrong order—that
    is, before T1. These order reversals have led to the hypothesis that ''lag 1 sparing''
    occurs because the two targets merge into a single episodic representation. Here,
    we report evidence consistent with an alternative theory: T2 receives more attention
    than T1, leading to prior entry into working memory. Two experiments showed that
    the more T2 performance exceeded that for T1, the more order reversals were made.
    Furthermore, precuing T1 led to a shift in performance benefits from T2 to T1
    and to an equivalent reduction in order reversals. We conclude that it is not
    necessary to assume episodic integration to explain lag 1 sparing or the accompanying
    order reversals. (PsycINFO Dat'

  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
