Evidence for object-based attention is based mainly on studies using object displays that remain unchanged throughout, with the assumption that object representation should be completed and stabilized before it is selected for further processing. We used the modified double-rectangle cuing paradigm of Egly, Driver, and Rafal (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 123, 161-177, 1994) but introduced a configuration change to the cued-object display to test whether object-based attention is determined by the cued- or, alternatively, the changed-object display. Four small rectangles were presented in the initial display; critically, after one was cued, an occluder was presented to make the four small rectangles amodally completed into the double-rectangle configuration. Results show that object-based attention is determined by the changed display, but not by the cued display. This suggests that object-based attention is an interactively evolving process between object representation and attention, rather than a serial process in which attention operates after object representation is completed.
基于客体的注意的证据主要基于使用在整个过程中保持不变的客体显示的研究，其假设是客体表征在被选择进行进一步处理之前应该已经完成并稳定下来。我们采用了埃格利、德赖弗和拉法尔（《实验心理学杂志：总论》，第123卷，第161 - 177页，1994年）改进后的双矩形提示范式，但对被提示客体的显示引入了一种构型变化，以测试基于客体的注意是由被提示的显示还是由变化后的客体显示决定的。在初始显示中呈现四个小矩形；关键的是，在其中一个被提示后，呈现一个遮挡物，使四个小矩形以非模态方式完成到双矩形构型。结果表明，基于客体的注意是由变化后的显示决定的，而不是由被提示的显示决定的。这表明基于客体的注意是客体表征与注意之间的一个交互演化过程，而不是一个在客体表征完成后注意才起作用的串行过程。
