The gap effect and inhibition of return: interactive effects on eye movement latencies. Abstract Text:

R A Abrams,R S Dobkin,

Three experiments are reported with two types of manipulations that are known to affect the latency with which subjects can initiate saccadic eye movements. The first manipulation involves the temporal relation between the offset of a visual fixation point and the onset of a peripheral target (the "gap effect"). The second manipulation involves the prior allocation and removal of visual attention ("inhibition of return"). In two experiments, the gap effect was smaller for saccades to previously attended locations than to previously unattended locations. The results suggest an important link between the two phenomena and provide new insights into the brain mechanisms underlying visual attention and eye movements.
