最近的研究试图阐明由凝视和箭头引发的注意力转移的自动性，结果喜忧参半。在本研究中，我们旨在测试对这两种线索引起的注意定向的抑制阻力的一个强有力的定义。在五个实验中，参与者被100%肯定地告知他们必须对其做出反应的目标的未来位置，方法是在每一次试验开始时展示一个指向词，或在每一块开始时展示指令。凝视和箭头呈现在目标面前，作为与任务无关的无关紧要的干扰因素。结果显示，凝视和箭头的模式相似--即当干扰物与即将到来的目标位置不一致时，会产生干扰效应。这表明，由凝视和箭头调节的注意力定向可以被认为是高度自动的。
Recent studies have tried to shed light on the automaticity of attentional shifts triggered by gaze and arrows with mixed results. In the present research, we aimed at testing a strong definition of resistance to suppression for orienting of attention elicited by these two cues. In five experiments, participants were informed with 100% certainty about the future location of a target they had to react to by presentation of either a direction word at the beginning of each trial or instructions at the beginning of each block. Gaze and arrows were presented before the target as uninformative distractors irrelevant for the task. The results showed similar patterns for gaze and arrows-namely, an interference effect when the distractors were incongruent with the upcoming target location. This suggests that the orienting of attention mediated by gaze and arrows can be considered as strongly automatic.
