Q
Awh and Pashler (2000)
A
Support for the split focal theory
A digit would appear between the two target areas that participants were told to focus on
According to the zoom-lens theory, attention should cover both targets and the space in-between, meaning they would be good at detecting the digit
But Awh and Pashler (2000) found that people were actually bad at detecting it.
Supports split focal as attention did not spread to the in-between location
