Abstract

We studied endogenous cuing during the attentional blink in order to examine its resistance to dual task interference. In two experiments, we found a reduced impact of endogenous cuing during the "blink" time of the attentional blink. In a third experiment endogenous cuing was intact when it was not influenced by demands imposed by an earlier target. Contrary to a recent report (Zhang et al. in Exp Brain Res, 185, 287-295, 2008), the results indicate that endogenous orienting guided by semantic cues is susceptible to the attentional blink.
