Inhibition of Return (IOR, slower reaction times to previously cued or inspected locations) is observed both when eye movements are prohibited, and when the eyes move to the peripheral location and back to the centre before the target appears. It has been postulated that both effects are generated by a common mechanism, the activation of the oculomotor system. In strong support of this claim, IOR is not observed when attention is oriented endogenously and covertly, but it has been observed when eye movements are endogenously prepared, even when not executed. Here, we aimed to replicate and extend the finding that endogenous saccade preparation produces IOR. In five experiments using different paradigms, IOR was not observed when participants endogenously prepared an eye movement. These results lead us to conclude that endogenous saccade preparation is not sufficient to produce IOR.
返回抑制（IOR，对先前提示或检查过的位置的反应时间较慢）既出现在眼动被禁止时，也出现在眼睛移动到外周位置并在目标出现之前返回中心时。有人假设这两种效应都是由一个共同的机制产生的，即眼球运动系统的激活。强有力地支持这一说法的是，当注意力自主地和隐蔽地定向时，IOR 不会被观察到，但当眼动自主地准备时，即使没有执行，也会观察到 IOR。在这里，我们旨在复制和扩展自主眼动准备产生 IOR 的发现。在五个使用不同范式的实验中，当参与者自主准备眼球运动时，没有观察到 IOR。这些结果使我们得出结论，自主眼动准备不足以产生 IOR。
