Presenting a precue near the location where a target will appear causes an enhancement of visual performances. This procedure is called peripheral cuing, and the effect of peripheral cuing has been interpreted as a result of an allocation of covert attention. However, a low-level visual interaction between the cue and the target can enhance representation of the target to induce the cuing effect. We examined whether the effect of peripheral cuing is due to an attentional process, or to a low-level visual interaction. To do this, we compared conditions with similar visual interactions, but with attention allocated differently. In one condition, we presented the first cue near the target and the second cue distant from the target, to deprive attention from the target location. In another condition, a single cue was presented near the target to allocate attention at the target. We found that the accuracy of discriminating the tilt of a target was lower in the condition which attention was deprived. This result suggests that the effect of peripheral cuing is due to an attentional process.
