The three-factor model argues that the spatial orienting benefit triggered by the cue, the spatial selection benefit of cue-target matching, and the detection cost of distinguishing the cue from the target contribute to the measured inhibition of return (IOR) effect. According to the three-factor model, the spatial selection benefit dominates the occurrence of the IOR effect in the discrimination task, while the detection cost is negligible. The present study verified the three-factor model in the discrimination task under the cue-target paradigm by manipulating the spatial location and nonspatial feature consistency of the cue and the target as well as the promotion or hindrance of attentional disengagement from the cued location with a central reorienting cue. The results indicated that the three factors of the three-factor model contributed to the measured IOR effect in the discrimination task. Interestingly, the IOR effect was stable when the cue and target were perfectly repeated and attention was maintained at the cued location, implying that detection cost was not a negligible factor. The current study supported the contribution of all three factors in the three-factor model to the measured IOR effect; however, we argue that the role of detection cost in the discrimination task under different paradigms should be further refined.
三因素模型认为，提示引发的空间定向收益、提示-目标匹配的空间选择收益，以及从目标中区分提示的检测成本，共同导致了所测抑制返回（IOR）效应。根据三因素模型，在判别任务中，空间选择收益主导了 IOR 效应的发生，而检测成本可以忽略不计。本研究通过操纵提示和目标的空间位置和非空间特征一致性，以及使用中央重新定向提示来促进或阻碍注意力从提示位置上的脱离，在提示-目标范式下的判别任务中验证了三因素模型。结果表明，三因素模型的三个因素都对判别任务中的所测 IOR 效应有贡献。有趣的是，当提示和目标完全重复且注意力保持在提示位置时，IOR 效应是稳定的，这意味着检测成本并不是一个可以忽略的因素。本研究支持三因素模型的所有三个因素对所测 IOR 效应的贡献；然而，我们认为在不同范式下，判别任务中检测成本的作用需要进一步细化。
