search accuracy was over 95 %, which did not differ across the trial types. For this reason, we focused on reaction time (RT) data.

in a half of all the trials, one of the non-targets had a distinct color.
why?

Considering this, we recently devised a new experimental approach to estimate the extent of serial/parallel processing (Lee et al., 2021). In this paradigm, participants were tasked with detecting and identifying a target stimulus.
what they did; a new experiment, to "estimate the extent of serial/parallel processing" - previous paragraph explains why they needed to do it - new approach involved: participants needed to identify and detect a target stimulus, which was presented in 3 diff ways. 1. single target trials, only one target stimulus 2. double target trials, two target stimulus, compatible or incompatible (they had to respond to whichever they saw first) then they observed the diff in reaction times between the two target

Despite this, only abrupt onsets capturedattention in a subsequent visual search task, whereas color singletons and color singleton onsets were bothsuppressed. Thus, abrupt onsets tend to capture attention more strongly than color singletons, but this isnot apparently because of high physical salience.
interesting finding

For example, Adams et al. (2023) examined participants’ abilityto ignore abrupt onsets and color singletons
color singletons ?
