The attentional blink (AB) is a robust phenomenon that has been consistently reported in the cognitive literature. The AB is found when two target images (T1, T2) are presented within 500 ms of each other and errors are induced on the perceptual report of T2. The AB may increase when T1 has some salience to the viewer. This study examined the effects of using pictures of children as T1 on the AB in a sample of child molesters. A larger AB emerged in this sample when T1 was a picture of a child compared with when T1 was a picture of an animal. It is argued that this task may be potentially useful to assess child molesters' level of interest in children.
注意瞬脱（AB）是一种在认知文献中一直有报道的稳健现象。当两个目标图像（T1、T2）在彼此500毫秒内呈现且在T2的感知报告中引发错误时，就会发现注意瞬脱。当T1对观看者具有某种显著性时，注意瞬脱可能会增加。本研究考察了在恋童癖样本中使用儿童图片作为T1对注意瞬脱的影响。与T1是动物图片时相比，当T1是儿童图片时，该样本中出现了更大的注意瞬脱。有人认为，这项任务可能对评估恋童癖者对儿童的兴趣程度具有潜在用途。
