Abstract

The present paper reviews recent research on perceptual latency priming (PLP). PLP is the relative latency advantage—earlier perception—of a visual stimulus that is preceded by another, masked stimulus at its location. The first stimulus attracts attention which accelerates perception of the second stimulus. This facilitation arises even if the first stimulus is visually backward-masked by the second one. The paper summarises research on temporal and spatial properties of PLP and the question whether intentions mediate shifts of attention to external events. Possible sources of PLP besides visuo-spatial attention are discussed. Finally, I give a review of feedforward and reentrant models of PLP and compare them to the empirical evidence.

Voetnoten
1
Independent of this finding, attention may be linked to perceived duration. For instance, attented stimuli may be perceived as longer than unattended stimuli (e.g., Enns, Brehaut, & Shore, 1999; Grondin & Rammsayer, 2003; Tse, Intriligator, Rivest, & Cavanagh, 2004).
 
2
More accurately, this asynchrony explains why masking becomes progressively weaker as the onset interval between prime and mask increases. Metacontrast masking is, however, marked by an increase of masking up to the maximum and thereafter a decrease. The initial increase can be explained by brightness summation (Neumann, 1982; Reeves, 1982).
 
3
In the current context, this is the most important process in visual masking within object substitution. Besides, the OS model also allows for, e.g., local contour inhibition (Enns, 2004).
 
4
A further explanation of PLP may be provided by the temporal-profile model (Stelmach & Herdman, 1991). It assumes that the processing of attended stimuli is accelerated. As a consequence, the temporal profile of the activity pattern of the stimulus sharpens. This model is fitted to prior entry with endogenous control of attention and not specific enough for the priming paradigm. For instance, it does not allow for predictions about time course or spatial resolution of PLP.
