Abstract

Observers more rapidly detect and more accurately remember two identical targets than a single target, a phenomenon called the redundancy effect. To understand how the visual system deals with redundant information, the current experiment investigated the effect of redundant distractors on target responses. In a word-picture Stroop task, we measured response interference by a single or redundant distractors when the stimulus onset asynchrony varies between a target and the distrator(s). As results, two redundant distractors produced greater Stroop interference than a single distractor although overall response times remained constant. These findings are not compatible with a race model, which assumes separate processing of redundant stimuli, but support a coactivation model, which assumes that redundant stimuli form a single perceptual representation.
