“…Most recent investigators have explained the IC phenomenon in terms of the core assumptions of FIT (Botella et al, 2017;Ceja & Franconeri, 2018;Gunther & McKinney, 2020;Wolfe & Horowitz, 2017). However, some scholars deny the existence of a free-floating feature of the stimuli, arguing that participants' random guesses about the stimuli and misclassifications of the target stimuli could lead to IClike misconnections (Botella et al, 2001(Botella et al, , 2017Ivry & Prinzmetal, 1991).…”

Background: Previous studies of illusory conjunction (IC) mainly focused on alphabetic languages, while researchers poorly understood the IC mechanism of Chinese words as an ideographic writing system. Purpose: In the present study, we aimed to investigate the dynamic changes of IC effects for Chinese words under different stimulus exposure times and spatial arrangements. Research Design: We conducted two experiments with a 3 (Condition: IC, non-IC-same, non-IC-different) × 3 (Exposure time: 38 ms, 88 ms, 138 ms) within-subject design. Results: The results showed that in the IC condition, the two characters recombined regardless of exposure time as long as they could form an orthographically correct new word, demonstrating the universality of IC. In non-IC conditions, increasing exposure time decreased response time and significantly reduced error rate, indicating that attention played a decisive role in perceptual processing. The spatial arrangement had no impact on IC production. Conclusions: These findings support the feature confirmation account model, suggesting that attention modulates IC through top-down feature confirmation processes. These data expand an understanding of IC mechanisms, validate the role of attention in feature confirmation, and elucidate the inimitable mechanism of the Chinese word IC influenced by both low-level visual processing and high-level cognitive control.
