As in Experiment 1, participants were split into two groups based on magnitude of
positive cue benefit: high group (greatest positive cue benefit, N=9), low group (least
positive cue benefit, N=9). Participants in the high group demonstrated a reliable
negative cue benefit (M=1212.32), relative to the neutral condition (M=1459.93), but only
when the different colored items were segregated by hemifield (panel A). When the
different colored items were mixed within each hemifield (panel B), participants in the
high group no longer demonstrated a benefit from the negative cue (M=1378.57), relative to
the neutral condition (M=1397.77). Participants in the low group did not demonstrate a
negative cue benefit for either array type. Error bars represent within-subject 95%
confidence intervals (Morey, 2008).
