Abstract: Priority of Pereephon (POP) within inhibihon of return (IOR) means that astimulus in the cued position will be perceived earlier than that in the uncued positionin contrast to the RT data. The aim of this study was to find if POP existed underdifferent attentional orienting. Two experiments were carried out by method oftemporal order judgements (TOJs) within IOR paradigm. College students were servedas subects. Experiment 1 showed that POP existed at locations being cued successi-vely; experiment 2 showed that POP also existed when attention was distributed bydouble cueing. It was concluded that POP could exist at different conditions of visualorienting within IOR, not only under focused attention. These results implied that POPwas a relatively general phenomenon in nature and could be considered as strongsupport for the response-related view on IOK

Key words: attentional orienting, inhibition of return, priority of perception, temporal order judgements, response-related view
