摘要

Although the majority of research on attentional blink (AB), an impairment in detecting the second of two sequentially presented target stimuli, has been well-established using visual targets, little research has been done on auditory AB and crossmodal AB with visual and auditory targets (Arnell and Jolicœur 1999). Similarly, AB effects have been demonstrated with spatially incongruent visual targets (Jefferies and Di Lollo 2009), but it remains unknown if AB effects will be observed when unimodal auditory targets or auditory–visual targets are spatially incongruent. The present study extends previous literature with a systematic examination of AB effects under varying unimodal and crossmodal conditions (Experiment 1) and unimodal and crossmodal AB effects when manipulating spatial congruency of targets (Experiment 2). Our main results show AB effects across all unimodal and crossmodal conditions in both experiments. AB magnitude was the strongest in congruent unimodal visual conditions and the weakest in the crossmodal condition with visual as Target 1 (T1) and auditory as Target 2 (T2). In Experiment 2, we found AB effects occur regardless of target spatial congruency. Only the unimodal visual condition showed a larger AB effect for spatially incongruent visual targets. These findings provide new insight into attentional interference across space and sensory domains.
