This model accounts for negative priming only when the stimuli are repetitively ignored as distractors during a goal directed behavior of selecting the target stimulus. This model does not support negative priming effects found in cases short of goal directed behavior.
This model considers negative priming in situations where the stimuli are repeatedly disregarded as distractors during a purposeful task of identifying the target stimulus. In contrast, this model does not support negative priming effects observed in cases lacking focused attention.
