Color-color interference refers to the finding that the naming of a target color is hampered by the simultaneous presentation of an incongruent distractor color somewhere else in the visual field. This interference effect has been attributed to an imperfect input selection (selection-for-processing). We test an alternative account in which it is assumed that (a) target and distractor are identified in parallel without mutual interference, (b) the identified target color has to be selected to control the naming response (selection-for-action), and (c) this selection process takes more time and is less accurate in the incongruent condition than in the control conditions. Experiment 1 shows that color-color interference obtained when a target color, presented at the point of fixation, is flanked by incongruent colors. In Experiments 2 and 3, the central target position is indicated by an additional exogenous selection cue. The results show that an abrupt-onset cue, presented at the central target position 160 ms after the onset of the target and distractors, reduces the interference effect. This finding is interpreted as supporting evidence for a selection-for-action account of color-color interference.
颜色-颜色干扰是指这样一种发现：目标颜色的命名会受到在视野其他位置同时呈现的不一致干扰颜色的阻碍。这种干扰效应被归因于不完美的输入选择（为处理而选择）。我们测试了另一种解释，即假设：（a）目标和干扰物是并行识别的，没有相互干扰；（b）必须选择已识别的目标颜色来控制命名反应（为行动而选择）；（c）与控制条件相比，在不一致条件下，这个选择过程需要更多时间且准确性更低。实验1表明，当位于注视点的目标颜色两侧是不一致颜色时，会出现颜色-颜色干扰。在实验2和3中，通过额外的外源性选择线索来指示中央目标位置。结果表明，在目标和干扰物出现后160毫秒在中央目标位置呈现的突然出现线索会降低干扰效应。这一发现被解释为支持颜色-颜色干扰的为行动而选择解释的证据。
