在视觉搜索实验中，参与者必须决定目标对象是否存在于四对象搜索阵列中。这些对象之一可能是语义上相关的竞争对手（例如，衬衫对应目标裤子），也可能是概念上不相关且与目标同名的对象，例如，蝙蝠（棒球）对应目标蝙蝠（动物）。在控制条件下，相关的竞争者被不相关的对象取代。参与者的反应潜伏期和眼球运动表明，两种类型的相关竞争对手具有相似的效果：竞争对手吸引了参与者的视觉注意力，从而延迟了积极和消极的决策。结果表明，与对象相关的语义和名称信息变得快速可用，并影响视觉注意力的分配。
In a visual search experiment, participants had to decide whether or not a target object was present in a four-object search array. One of these objects could be a semantically related competitor (e.g., shirt for the target trousers) or a conceptually unrelated object with the same name as the target-for example, bat (baseball) for the target bat (animal). In the control condition, the related competitor was replaced by an unrelated object. The participants' response latencies and eye movements demonstrated that the two types of related competitors had similar effects: Competitors attracted the participants' visual attention and thereby delayed positive and negative decisions. The results imply that semantic and name information associated with the objects becomes rapidly available and affects the allocation of visual attention.
