先前的研究表明，焦点目标是通过抑制替代目标来屏蔽的。本研究旨在扩展这些发现，并表明实验诱导意图的执行也不受干扰。在两个实验中，参与者被指示形成对特定刺激（意图线索）作出反应的意图。其次，我们评估了意图线索、分散线索和控制线索的可及性。结果表明，与对照线索相比，分散注意力的线索被抑制。此外，我们获得的初步证据表明，这种抑制有助于执行先前形成的意图。目前的研究补充了早期关于意图和目标屏蔽的研究，表明认知自我调节过程可以保护意图不受干扰。要想成功地追求目标，避免分心以阻止执行和完成意图是必不可少的。准备讲座、阅读文章或写论文，至少在一定程度上都取决于不经常分心的能力。然而，不幸的是，通常有许多环境线索可能会干扰意图相关行为的处理，从而阻碍我们意图的正确实现：在工作中收到朋友的电子邮件可能会触发对聚会的记忆表征，从而暂时干扰准备
Previous research has shown that focal goals are shielded through inhibition of alternative goals. The present research aims to extend these findings and show that execution of experimentally induced intentions is also shielded from distraction. In two experiments participants were instructed to form an intention to react to specific stimuli (intention cues). Next, we assessed accessibility of the intention cues, distracting cues and control cues. Results show that distracting cues were inhibited compared with control cues. In addition, we obtained preliminary evidence that this inhibition facilitates execution of previously formed intentions. The present research adds to earlier research on intentions and goal shielding by showing that cognitive self–regulatory processes shield intentions from distraction. Fending off distractions to shield execution and completion of intentions is indispensable for successful goal pursuit. Preparing a lecture, reading an article or writing a paper all depend, at least partly, on the ability to not get distracted too often. Unfortunately, however, there are usually many environmental cues that might interfere with the processing of intention–related behavior and hence hinder the proper implementation of our intentions: Receiving an e–mail at work from a friend may trigger a memory representation of a party that temporarily interferes with prepar
