“…This has the advantage of ruling out alternative nonattentional accounts based on confounds of the congruency level sequence and the sequence of specific stimulus and response features (e.g., Hommel, Proctor, & Vu, 2004) or of congruency level frequency and the frequency of specific stimulus and response features (e.g., Stürmer , Leuthold, Soetens, Schröter, & Sommer, 2002;Wendt & Luna-Rodriguez, 2009). 2 This discrepancy accords with other recently found dissociations of ratio and sequential modulations (e.g., Fernandez-Duque & Knight, 2008;Funes, Lupiáñez, & Humphreys, 2010;Iani, Rubichi, Gherri, & Nicoletti, 2009;Purmann, Badde, & Wendt, 2009 the side of previous incongruent than on the side of previous congruent flankers. Effects of presenting a search task target stimulus at the location of a previous distractor has mainly been investigated in localization tasks (e.g., Milliken, Tipper, Houghton, & Lupiáñez, 2000;Tipper, Brehaut, & Driver, 1990).…”
