Identification of a visual target is impaired by a salient distractor which is presented simultaneously or previously (attentional capture). It has also been reported that there is interference with identification of a target when it is followed by another target within 500ms (attentional blink). Although it has been assumed that these performance subtracters share a common underlying mechanism, there is no direct evidence supporting this view. We examined the intra-individual correlations of these performance subtracters observed in two attentional capture tasks (a spatial attentional capture task and a spatio-temporal attentional capture task) and an attentional blink task. The results from 135 participants showed no significant correlations among the deficits in these three tasks, suggesting that the underlying mechanisms of these deficits were independent.
