A sentence is readily understood and recalled when presented 1 word at a time using rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) at 10 words/s (Potter, 1984). In contrast, selecting just 2 colored letters at 10 letters/s results in easy detection of the first target but poor recall for the second when it appears 200-500 ms later. This attentional blink disappears when all letters must be reported; instead, performance drops more gradually over serial position (Nieuwenstein & Potter, 2006). Would target words in sentences escape an attentional blink? Subjects either reported 2 target words (in red or uppercase) or the whole 10-word sentence. There was a blink for Target 2 in partial report, but that target was easily remembered in whole report. With scrambled sentences whole report dropped but partial report was unaffected, again showing a blink. The attentional blink is not due to memory processing of Target 1, but to target selection, which is incompatible with sentence processing.

RSVP 语句中的整体报告与部分报告

当使用快速序列视觉呈现 (RSVP) 以 10 个词/秒的速度一次呈现 1 个词时，一个句子很容易理解和回忆（Potter，1984）。相比之下，仅以 10 个字母/秒的速度选择 2 个彩色字母会导致容易检测到第一个目标，但在 200-500 毫秒后出现第二个目标时召回率很差。当必须报告所有字母时，这种注意眨眼就会消失；相反，性能在连续位置上下降得更缓慢（Nieuwenstein & Potter, 2006）。句子中的目标词会避免眨眼吗？受试者要么报告 2 个目标词（红色或大写），要么报告整个 10 个词的句子。部分报告中的目标 2 闪烁，但整个报告中很容易记住该目标。整个报告都被打乱了，但部分报告不受影响，再次出现眨眼。
