Research on temporal-order judgments, reference frames, discrimination tasks, and links to oculomotor control suggest important differences between inhibition of return (IOR) and attentional costs and benefits. Yet, it is generally assumed that IOR is an attentional effect even though there is little supporting evidence. The authors evaluated this assumption by examining how several factors that are known to influence attentional costs and benefits affect the magnitude of IOR: target modality, target intensity, and response mode. Results similar to those previously reported for attention were observed: IOR was greater for visual than for auditory targets, showed an inverse relationship with target intensity, and was equivalent for manual and saccadic responses. Important parallels between IOR and attentional costs and benefits are indicated, suggesting that, like attention, IOR may in part affect sensory-perceptual processes.
关于时间顺序判断、参照系、辨别任务以及与眼动控制的联系的研究表明，返回抑制（IOR）与注意成本和收益之间存在重要差异。然而，尽管几乎没有支持证据，但人们通常认为IOR是一种注意效应。作者通过研究几个已知会影响注意成本和收益的因素如何影响IOR的大小来评估这一假设：目标模态、目标强度和反应方式。观察到与先前关于注意的报道相似的结果：视觉目标的IOR大于听觉目标，与目标强度呈反比关系，并且手动反应和扫视反应的IOR相当。这表明IOR与注意成本和收益之间存在重要的相似之处，表明与注意一样，IOR可能部分影响感觉-知觉过程。
