Abstract
Percepts and urges often enter consciousness involuntarily. Can high-level attentional processes, too, arise in this manner? Study 1 revealed that sets to not attend to a location can induce involuntary attentional shifts to that location. Study 2 revealed that the processing fluency of a stimulus, too, can induce such shifts.
