Abstract

Converging evidence has shown that onset capture can be completely eliminated by the demands of a concurrent task and during the attentional blink. In the present study, we investigated contingent capture during the attentional blink. We found that contingent capture was attenuated, or even completely eliminated, during the "blink" time of the attentional blink. These results indicate that contingent capture requires limited attentional resources.
