A research methodology that involves presenting a series of visual stimuli rapidly one after another.

A partially specified letter (e.g., a red letter in a stream of colored letters) that is the focus of the task.

A fully specified letter (e.g., a black 'X' in a stream of black letters) used to test the processing of stimuli after the target.

The period of time (approximately 270 ms) following the target during which the brain seems to be unable to process new visual stimuli effectively.

In target identification tasks, this is the feature that sets the target apart from other items (e.g., color, position).

The specific feature of the target that the participant is asked to report (e.g., the letter name).

A type of RSVP experiment where participants identify a target based on a specific feature and then report another feature of that same target.

An RSVP experiment where participants are asked to detect the presence or absence of a fully specified letter (probe) presented at various intervals after the target.

The ability to identify a target letter even with rapid stimulus presentation rates.

Errors in target identification that follow a pattern, often influenced by items near the target.

Mistaking the feature of an item before the target for the target's feature.

Mistaking the feature of an item after the target for the target's feature.

A decrease in performance identifying stimuli after the first target in a multiple-task RSVP experiment.

The time between the presentation of one stimulus and the next in an RSVP experiment.

The letter immediately after the target in an RSVP experiment.

The time between the end of the target stimulus and the start of the posttarget stream.

A mechanism that prevents us from processing incoming stimuli effectively after a target.

A letter presented after the target in a letter stream.

A blank interval inserted between the target and the first posttarget item, allowing for a break in processing.

The hypothesis that a post-target processing deficit is only triggered when post-target stimulation interferes with the target identification process.

The ability of a post-target item to activate the attentional suppression mechanism.

Whether the attentional suppression mechanism is triggered automatically after the target, without considering the nature of the post-target stimulus.

A research technique used to investigate the cognitive processes involved in perception and attention by measuring how the performance on one task affects the ability to perform a subsequent task.

A type of experimental control where participants are instructed to ignore a specific aspect of a stimulus, allowing researchers to isolate the effect of other factors.

A study where participants complete a task that requires focused attention on a specific stimulus (e.g., identifying a target letter), and subsequently their performance on a different, but related task (e.g., detecting a probe) is measured.

A research method that focuses on investigating the timing and duration of cognitive processes by measuring performance at specific intervals after the completion of a task.

A pattern of cognitive performance where the suppression effect is triggered by a specific event (e.g., target identification), and is not simply a continuous, automatic process.

A mechanism that suppresses processing of stimuli presented after a distracting stimulus, potentially contributing to the attentional blink.

The presentation of a stimulus that draws attention away from the target, potentially leading to the attentional blink.

The ability to identify a target stimulus in a stream of information (often RSVP).

The time interval between two stimuli, often used to manipulate the occurrence of the attentional blink.

A research methodology used to study human perception, attention, and cognition. Participants are presented with a sequence of stimuli and asked to respond to specific targets, providing insights into cognitive processes.
