Abstract

Previous studies have shown that a change in an existing object is not as effective in capturing attention as the appearance of a new object. This view was recently challenged by Lu and Zhou (Psychonomic Bulletin and Review 12:567–572, 2005), who found strong capture effects for an object changing its color. We suspected that this finding critically depends on a procedural particularity in Lu and Zhou’s study, namely that the color of the unique item and the color of the no-unique items randomly switched between trials. In the current study we replicate Lu and Zhou’s capture effect (Experiment 1) and show that no capture occurs when the color-to-stimuli assignment is fixed (Experiment 2). Two further experiments suggest that the capture effect in Experiment 1 is not because the unique item switched color (Experiment 3), but because all the no-unique items switched color (Experiment 4). The results are discussed considering top-down modulation and inter-trial priming effects.

Keeping the occurrence of unique and no-unique target trials statistically independent, resulted inescapably in a confound between display size and target type, such that unique target trials occurred twice as often with three-item displays than with six-item displays. It is therefore possible that the slope of the unique target trials and hence the overall slope ratio is affected by this inequality. However, it is important to note that this confound cannot be avoided and applies to all slope-ratio based experiments reported here and elsewhere in exactly the same way.

In statistical analyses we report only significant effects, unless they are of theoretical importance, in which case we report the P value.
