Investigated in 2 experiments whether attentional resources can be simultaneously allocated to several locations in a visual display, whether the mode of processing (serial or parallel) can be switched within a trial, and the nature of the costs when attentional resouces are concentrated on an invalid location. In each of the experiments, 6 college students were required to determine which of 2 target letters was present in 8-letter circular displays. In precue conditions, a primary and a secondary target location were designated 150 msec before target onset by an indicator that varied in validity. In the control conditions no cue was provided. Exp II verified several assumptions that had been made in interpreting the data of Exp I. Modifications in J. Jonides's (see record 1984-08558-001) 2-process model are suggested in terms of a zoom lens model of attentional resources. Instead of 2 alternative processing modes, attentional resources are seen as capable of distribution over the visual field, but with low resolving power, or as continuously constricting to small portions of the visual field with a concomitant increase in processing power.(38 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
