Abstract
⺠We examined the attentional repulsion and attraction effects when the positional cue is made invisible with visual masking. ⺠Significant repulsion and attraction effects were observed with masked cue presented before/after target stimuli. ⺠The effects depended on the actual position the cue was presented, but not where observer guessed the cue existed. ⺠The effects were reduced in the masked than unmasked condition, suggesting possibility of different underlying mechanisms. ⺠The results suggest that visual awareness of the cue is not necessarily associated with these spatial distortion effects.
