Subjects were presented with briefly exposed visual displays of words that were common first names with a length of four to six letters. In the main experiment, each display consisted of four words: two names shown in red and two shown in white. The subject's task was to report the red names (targets), but ignore the white ones (distractors). On some trials the subject's own name appeared as a display item (target or distractor). Presentation of the subject's name as a distractor caused no more interference with report of targets than did presentation of other names as distractors. Apparently, visual attention was not automatically attracted by the subject's own name.
研究对象会看到一些短暂呈现的视觉文字展示，这些文字是长度为四到六个字母的常见人名。在主要实验中，每次展示由四个单词组成：两个用红色显示的名字和两个用白色显示的名字。研究对象的任务是报告红色名字（目标），忽略白色名字（干扰项）。在某些试验中，研究对象自己的名字会作为展示项出现（目标或干扰项）。将研究对象的名字作为干扰项呈现时，对目标报告造成的干扰并不比将其他名字作为干扰项呈现时更多。显然，视觉注意力不会自动被研究对象自己的名字吸引。
