Abstract
Two experiments were run wherein normal subjects made choice reactions to targets preceded by location cues. Systematic manipulation of the predictive validity of the cue produced consistent advantages for subj ects in the low as opposed to the high predictive validity condition. Performance advantages were observed in both response time and accurac y measures. The results are discussed with respect to models of visual orienting and controlled versus automatic processing.
