Can location cues facilitate attentional suppression

---

These experiments make use of a hybrid flanker-visual search-spatial cueing paradigm.

Experiment 1 - is an online replication of Munneke, Van der Stigchel, & Theeuwes (2008) Participants were asked to disciminate a target (capital B or F). A foil was presented on each trial which was either congruent (e.g. target B and foil b) or incongruent (e.g. target B and foil f) with the target. The other two items in the array were x and ks. In an informative condition the upcoming location of the foil was highlighted by a spatial cue. In the non-informative condition each location was highlighted by the cue

Experiment 2 - repeats Experiment 1 but cue type is blocked

Experiment 3 - the possible target and foil locations were distinguished based on spatial location. There were four possible target locations (identical to Experiment 1 and 2) and four possible foil locations which were next to the four sides of the fixation square created by the contours of the arrows.
