Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We can localize and orient to objects in space by both of vision and audition.It is then possible to consider orienting as based on supra-modal mechanisms that are not specified to a particular sensory input in the brain.To examine this possibility, we analyzed the effect preceding stimuli on reaction times for orienting to lights and sounds in a situation where the stimulus modality was uncertain.As a result, we found two components of effects; one was modality-specific('repetition effect')and the other was not('inhibition of return').These findings suggest that covert orienting in space is subserved by both modality-specific mechanisms and supra-modal mechanisms independently.
