Negative priming has recently been demonstrated in tasks requiring spatial localization (S. P. Tipper, J. C. Brehaut, & J. Driver, 1990), supporting the notion that distractors are actively inhibited during selection. However, it has since been argued that this effect is caused by the appearance of mismatching identities at a single location (J. Park & N. Kanwisher, 1994). The present studies show that negative priming in a spatial localization task can occur when the ignored distractor and subsequent target are identical. However, feature mismatches can also lead to negative priming. The argument is made that distractor inhibition and implicit retrieval of previously presented items together provide a better account of efficient sequential selective behavior than does either process alone. Consider a bartender clearing glasses from a table. This apparently simple perceptual-motor interaction can be broken down into two complex stages of processing. The first stage encompasses the movement of the hand toward one glass among others in the same path of motion, and thus affords conflicting motor responses (see Tipper, Lortie, & Baylis, 1992). The second stage encompasses subsequent motor behavior after action toward the first glass has been completed. This second stage of processing is the focus of the present article. However, a complete understanding of how action is directed toward an object that was ignored in a recent perceptual-motor interaction begins with an understanding of the processing consequences of originally ignoring that object. Two mechanisms have been proposed to explain how action can be selectively directed toward one object when there are distracting objects in the scene. Most early models of selective attention proposed that internal representations of the attended object receive analysis beyond that of initial perceptual processing. This extra level of excitation was considered sufficient to separate the target from distractor (Broadbent, 1958, 1982; Van der Heijden, 1981). More recently, inhibitory mechanisms have been proposed to play a role complementary to that of excitation in separating
