That interpretation is consistent with experimental results. One such
bottleneck was identified in the earliest processing stage by manipulating
the asynchrony in stimulus onset. When the presentation times of two
stimuli were too close together, the response time to the second stimulus was
impaired, but as the asynchrony became greater, the impairment reduced to
an asymptotic minimum (Pashler & Johnston, 1998).
The typical blink experiment utilizes a stimulus recognition task that
does not appear to place a high demand on working memory. One research
team investigated what could happen when the task, such as an N- back
task, is more ...
