“…Thus, the current results stress the role of distractor saliency and its potential to interfere with top-down guidance of attention towards the target (Feldmann-Wüstefeld, 2021;Lamy, 2021;Lamy et al, 2004). Yet, distractor saliency does not modulate the Pd, potentially hinting at separate and independent mechanisms for target and distractor processing (Chang & Egeth, 2019;Feldmann-Wüstefeld, 2021;Liesefeld et al, 2021b;Luck et al, 2021;Noonan et al, 2016;Stilwell et al, 2022). In contrast, other studies associated the Pd with behavioral costs (Burra & Kerzel, 2013;Gaspar & McDonald, 2014) and observed that it emerged after the N2pc, suggesting that attention was first deployed to the distractor and then suppressed subsequently (Feldmann-Wüstefeld et al, 2016;Kiss et al, 2012;Sawaki et al, 2012).…”
