The attentional boost and the attentional blink
This chapter examines the relation between attentional blink and the so-called attentional boost. It discusses the results from research about attention and explains that attentional boost can be described as a rapid, automatic, and goal-driven attentional response. It argues that there is ample behavioural evidence that attention acts rapidly and often transiently in response to the detection of a relevant stimulus and that the location of a stimulus is more rapidly detected than its exact features.
