Abstract
Theories of selective attention in vision proposed by Duncan (1996), Van Essen and De Yoe (1995), and Johnston & Heinz (1978) are brought together to formulate a model of processing. The new model proposes that selection processes in vision occur along a processing continuum and interference occurs when the processes demand the same resources. The model is tested using a rapid visual serial presentation paradigm examining the errors made during the attentional blink processing deficit. The model is supported by the results of the experiments.
