Abstract text:	Several paradigms show that responses to one event compromise responses to a second event for around 500ms. Such effects are generally attributed to attentional capacity limitations associated with processing information in the first event. In a task where targets could be distinguished only by their meaning, we varied the semantic relationship between distractors and targets following at different lags. Semantic relatedness alone is shown to produce a classic "attentional blink." We conclude by discussing how attention theory might best accommodate these effects.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
