Two experiments examined the possibility that attention directed to a distractor during rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) can produce an attentional blink (AB). A to-be-ignored distractor (D1) preceded a target word (T2) by a variable lag in RSVP streams of black false-font distractors. D1 was highlighted by color and was a word, a string of consonants, a string of digits, or a string of false-font characters. Recall of T2 was significantly suppressed at short D1-T2 lags (the AB) but only when D1 contained letters; the AB was completely absent when D1 was composed of digits or false-font characters. Thus, the AB can be triggered by a highlighted distractor if the distractor shares features with a target.
两项实验检验了在快速序列视觉呈现（RSVP）过程中，将注意力导向一个干扰项是否会产生注意瞬脱（AB）的可能性。在由黑色伪字体干扰项组成的RSVP流中，一个待忽略的干扰项（D1）在目标词（T2）之前呈现，二者之间的延迟可变。D1通过颜色突出显示，其形式为一个单词、一串辅音字母、一串数字或一串伪字体字符。在较短的D1-T2延迟时（即注意瞬脱），T2的回忆显著受到抑制，但前提是D1包含字母；当D1由数字或伪字体字符组成时，注意瞬脱则完全不存在。因此，如果干扰项与目标具有共同特征，那么突出显示的干扰项可以触发注意瞬脱。
