“…Whereas some studies have shown habituation of the auditory distractor effect (e.g., Banbury & Berry, 1997;Morris & Jones, 1990), others have reported no habituation (e.g., Ellermeier & Zimmer, 1997;Jones, Macken, & Mosdell, 1997;Tremblay, 1997). On the one hand, it is possible to conclude from these results that the auditory distractor effect is largely independent of attention and that an attentional modulation of the auditory distractor effect occurs only under specific circumstances.…”
