Abstract
Previous studies have found that attention orienting is influenced by the orienting processes of previous trials in a spatial cueing paradigm. This sequence effect is due to the fact that performance is facilitated when cue validity (valid or invalid) repeats between trials. This study investigated the sequence effect of arrow cueing with four possible display locations. Therefore, there are two spatial organisation conditions between targets and cues for an invalid trial: opposite (i.e., targets appeared in the opposite location of the cue directions) and adjacent (i.e., targets appeared in the adjacent locations of the cues). The results showed that the sequence effects were enhanced when the spatial organisation conditions repeated between trials. The results suggest that not only the cue validity status but also the spatial organisation conditions of targets and cues are encoded in the memory representation to form the sequence effect.
