“…If T1 performance is too high, it is likely to overestimate the AB, just as ceiling performance will; if it is too low, it may abolish the AB entirely. However, if T1 performance is at a level similar to what could be expected for T2 performance in a control condition, it can be used effectively to estimate the AB 1 See Buchholz & Davies, 2007;Facoetti et al, 2008;Ferlazzo, Lucido, Di Nocera, Fagioli, & Sdoia, 2007;Ho, Mason, & Spence, 2007;Kihara et al, 2007;Lum et al, 2007;McLaughlin et al, 2001;McLean, Castles, Coltheart, & Stuart, 2010;McLean, Stuart, Visser, & Castles, 2009;Olivers & Nieuwenhuis, 2005Raymond & O'Brian, 2009;Raymond et al, 1992;Seiffert & Di Lollo, 1997;Visser et al, 2004;Visser & Ohan, 2007. In conclusion, various baselines can be used to capture the AB effect. The original control condition used by Raymond et al (1992)-that is, T2 performance when T1 is present but ignored-is the least problematic, as the parameters of T2 in the control condition only differ from those of T2 in the experimental condition by one factor: whether or not a previous target was attended to.…”
