Inhibition of return in temporal order saccades.
Inhibition of return (IOR) is an attention mechanism that expedites the search of an object in our environment. Results in different studies support either a perceptual or motor account of IOR. One problem with the perceptual account is that IOR has not been observed in temporal order judgment. Here we demonstrate that IOR can be observed in a temporal order saccade task where eye movement instead of manual response is used to select the target. The result suggests the importance of monitoring eye movement in studies of IOR.
