Peer reviewedEgeth, Howard E.; Santee, Jeffrey L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Effects of target-noise similarity on the ability to discriminate between two target letters were investigated. Performance was low when the noise letter shared the same name as the target. Thus, interletter interference effects cannot be explained in terms of inhibition between visual features. A "cognitive masking" hypothesis is proposed.…

Peer reviewedPaap, Kenneth R.; Ogden, William C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Letter encoding is typically viewed as an automatic process that is both obligatory and interference free. In these experiments, either familiar or non-familiar primes produced significant amounts of interference even when subjects were trying to ignore the visual input. Early perceptual components of encoding are both obligatory and resource…
