%0 Journal Article %T Perceptual latency priming and illusory linemotion: Facilitation by gradients of attention? %A Ingrid Scharlau %A Gernot Horstmann %J Advances in Cognitive Psychology %D 2006 %I Vizja Press & IT %X The phenomena of illusory line motion and perceptual latency priming are both assumed to reflect a facilitation of perceptual latency.The explanation of illusory line motion presupposes that attention is distributed in a gradient fashion whereas this is not a necessary part of the explanation of perceptual latency priming. Two experiments test whether an attentional gradient is present in perceptual latency priming. Evidence for a gradient was found within 2.5กใ of visual angle around the attended location, but not at a distance of 5กใ and more. %K Priming %K Attention %K Metacontrast %K Perceptual latency %U http://ac-psych.org/?id=2&rok=2006#article_9
