TY - JOUR AU - Irwin, Harvey J. AB - Summary The effects of semantic associations in a newly developed task of visual selective attention were investigated in 48 male and female university students with a view to determining the directional character of the concomitant processing interaction. That is, is the efficiency of naming attended inputs affected by the associative link from unattended to attended input, or by the link from attended to unattended input, or by a mutual, bidirectional link between the concurrent inputs? It was found that processing interaction in this context was a unidirectional effect. Implications of this result for modeling selective attention are discussed.
