Inhibition of return at different eccentricities in the visual field share the same temporal window

► IOR magnitude was larger at 21° relative to 7° eccentricity in the visual field. ► IOR at both 7° and 21° eccentricities is characterized by a passive decay over time. ► IOR at both 7° and 21° eccentricities disappears at approximately the same time of 3 s. ► IOR in the visual field is controlled by a common temporal mechanism.
