Note: Manipulations in experiments: Precision: angles between targets as a number of degrees. Cues: C=Central, P=Peripheral, B=Both. External Noise (or Masks): 0 = No external noise, N = high external noise, V = Variable external noise (including 0 and high), B = Both (0 and high external noise only), PM = postmask. Locations (on the display): # of locations/# of targets. Uncertainty: Probable, Minimized, Eliminated. Effects on performance data (results): A = Asymptotic, SE = Stimulus Enhancement (in low external noise), ENE = External Noise Exclusion, UNC = Uncertainty. The presence of possible uncertainty contaminates, and so reduces the certainty of, the interpretation of other attention effects.
