有人认为，在选择目标对象，无关的干扰对象被抑制（例如Tipper，1985）。本文探讨是否干扰抑制是一个不变的过程，以同样的方式发生的每一个行为的选择，或者它是否是一个灵活的过程，以适应特定的行为目标。我们回顾了以前的研究，并报告新的实验表明，抑制是一个灵活的过程。那些与指向目标的动作最相关的干扰物的内部表征被抑制。被忽略的对象的其他属性可以保持在活动状态，并且可以促进后续行为。
It has been argued that during selection of target objects, irrelevant distractor objects are inhibited (e.g. Tipper, 1985). This article examines whether distractor inhibition is an invariant process that occurs in the same way for each act of selection, or whether it is a flexible process that adjusts to particular behavioural goals. We review previous studies and report new experiments that demonstrate that inhibition is a flexible process. Those internal representations of the distractor that are most associated with the action to be directed toward the target are inhibited. Other properties of the ignored object can remain in an active state and can facilitate subsequent behaviour.
