Goal Neglect and Instructional Complexity

(A) Stimulus sequence for a single trial in Duncan et al. (2008). Two streams of symbols (asterisks, letters and numbers; 400 ms/symbol) flashed up simultaneously on a computer screen, one to the left and one to the right of center.

(B) Mean goal neglect score for reduced- and full-instructions participants binned by Culture Fair IQ. A score of 0.5 indicates complete neglect of arrow cues; 0 indicates perfect performance. Adapted with permission from Duncan et al. (2008).
