Abstract
Interference between relevant and irrelevant stimuli is significantly reduced in multisensory spatial tasks when a co-actor is responsible for responding to incongruent and irrelevant distractors. Results of this research suggest that a division of labor and thus reduction of interference also occurs with automatically processed stimuli and suggested co-actors.
