TL;DR
Evidence of inhibitory tagging could be observed only when the items of the search tasks were maintained until the responses for the small probes were made, and this appeared to be an object-based effect.
Abstract
Klein (1988) reported that inhibitory tagging (i.e., inhibition of return in visual search) made reaction times for the detection of small probes increase at locations where there had previously been rejected items in serial visual search. It is reasonable that the attended and rejected locations are inhibited. However, subsequent studies did not support Klein's idea. In these studies, inhibitory tagging was tested after removing the items from the search tasks. The paradigms in these studies were not appropriate for testing an object-based inhibitory effect because the objects (i.e., items) were removed from the display. In the present study, we found that evidence of inhibitory tagging could be observed only when the items of the search tasks were maintained until the responses for the small probes were made. This appeared to be an object-based effect.

A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

The concept of anobject file as a temporary episodic representation, within which successive states of an object are linked and integrated, is developed, which develops the concept of a reviewing process, which is triggered by the appearance of the target and retrieves just one of the previewed items.

Searches for triple conjunctions (Color X Size X Form) are easier than searches for standard conjunctions and can be independent of set size, and three parallel processes can guide attention more effectively than two.

The following study of human performance supports assumptions that inhibition of return operates in serial search, presumably to improve search efficiency, and provides a functional link between these two phenomena.

Data from this study strongly support the proposal that inhibition of return functions to facilitate visual search by inhibiting orienting to previously examined locations.

Human observers are asked to search for a letter ‘T’ among letters ‘L’ and it is shown that efficiency is not impaired, and the standard theories of visual search must be revised.

In the present experiments, Ss were slower to initiate eye movements to previously attended locations, and subsequent experiments showed that the eye-movement component of the inhibition is not object-centered and does not move if the previously attended object moves, although the stimulus-detection component is object- centered.

This study found that probe reaction times were elevated atall distractor locations, relative to empty locations, following both parallel and serial search tasks, and this appears to be a forward masking effect.

Seven experiments were conducted to replicate, and extend, evidence for dynamic, object-centered inhibition of return (IOR)—that is, coding of inhibition following a peripheral cue in coordinates that move with the previously cued object, providing a dynamic bias against reattending to that object.
