Abstract
―In exogenous spatial cueing when cue-target onset asynchronies are greater than 300 ms IOR is observed. IOR refers to the performance advantage observed when cue and target appear in different spatial locations, in comparison with stimuli presented in the same location. IOR is often explained as an effect caused by a mechanism that discourages individuals to orient attention towards recently attended locations. Even if this is a broadly accepted explanation, IOR seems similar to the alternation sequential effect observed in two-choice tasks, usually associated to gambler’s fallacy. Three experiments were run to test the hypothesis that IOR depends on this kind of bias. In the first between-subjects experiment paranormal believers, persons that differ from disbelievers with respect to probability judgments concerning random events (Bugger & Taylor, 2003), showed greater IOR. The second and third within-subjects experiments demonstrated that IOR was modulated by two types of debiasingI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
