近年来，人们致力于研究视觉反应时间中的一种行为现象，即返回抑制（IOR），这种现象与视觉空间注意力的定向有关。具体来说，这个术语指的是对最近探索过的地点的注意力的自动抑制。本文的目的是质疑这一术语的适当性，因为它暗示了一种远未得到令人信服的证明的机制的运作。尽管它很简单，IOR现象不能用单一的机制来解释，很可能包括感觉和注意成分，正如波斯纳和科恩（1984）最初假设的那样，以及运动和动眼肌成分。
In recent years much work has been devoted to the study of a behavioural phenomenon in visual reaction time, called inhibition of return ( IOR), which has been linked to the orienting of visuo-spatial attention. Specifically, the term refers to an automatic inhibition of the return of attention to recently explored locations. The present paper is aimed at questioning the appropriateness of the term, which suggests the operation of a mechanism that is far from being convincingly demonstrated. In spite of its simplicity, the IOR phenomenon cannot be accounted for by a single mechanism and most probably involves both sensory and attentional components, as originally assumed by Posner and Cohen ( 1984), as well as motor and oculomotor components.
