Stimuli and procedure Request a detailed protocol As shown in Figure 2, Experiment 1 contained four trials, with the fourth trial differing from the first three in several ways. All trials took place in a display with dimensions 600 px x 600 px.
Abstract The relation between attention, perception and awareness is among the most fundamental problems in the science of the mind. One of the most striking and well-known phenomena bearing on this question is inattentional blindness (IB; Neisser & Becklen, 1975; Mack & Rock, 1998; Most et al., 2001, 2005). In IB, naive observers fail to report clearly visible stimuli when their attention is otherwise engaged -- famously even missing a gorilla parading before their eyes (Simons & Chabris, 1999).

Previous research indicates that prior information about a target feature, such as its color, can speed search. Can search also be speeded by knowing what a target will not look like? In the two experiments reported here, participants searched for target letters. Prior to viewing search displays, participants were prompted either with the color in which one or more nontarget letters would appear (ignore trials) or with no information about the search display (neutral trials).
