Abstract
We investigated a core issue in object-based selection: the spatial distribution of attention within and across objects. The method built upon the Egly et al. paradigm. We first replicated the same-object advantage in that paradigm. To examine the spatial distribution of attention within and across objects, we added a manipulation of within-object distance between cue and target. Evidence of spatial distance effects within objects would suggest that object-based selection is inherently spatial, consistent with grouped-array theories (Vecera, 1994) in which object perceptual structure is proposed to constrain the spatial distribution of attention.
