Still, J. D., Tan, W. P., & Dark, V. J.(2006). Does Number of Items or Time Affect Attentional Blink Magnitude [abstract]? Poster presented at the meeting of the Midwestern Psychological Association, Chicago, IL.

Attentional Blink (AB) studies typically confound time between T1 and T2 with number of distractors. We separated time and number. Surprisingly, AB magnitude decreased as number of distractors increased. However, because the interval before and after T2 was constant, target saliency may have been greater when more distractors were presented.
