Fitousi, Daniel What Causes Garner Interference? Toward a Sequential Feature Binding Account of the Effect Mendeley Data Garner interference is one of Psychology’s powerful effects for assessing selective attention. It has been successfully applied in numerous studies to investigate a large scope of research questions. However, the processing mechanisms that give rise to Garner interference are still not well understood. The current study proposes a sequential feature binding account of Garner interference that ascribes the interference solely to episodic feature integration processes at the micro (trial-to-trial) level. The novel account builds on earlier well-established notions of ”feature integration” and ”object files”, and is augmented by formal derivations. The sequential binding account can explain the emergence of Garner interference as well as a myriad of related Garner phenomena. Four experiments were performed with the aim of testing the sequential episodic binding account. Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 used Munsell dimensions of chroma and value. Experiment 3 and Experiment 4 harnessed width and height of rectangles. The results of all four experiments strongly supported the predictions of the sequential binding account: (a) Garner interference significantly decreased as a function of inter stimulus interval (ISI), a variable that has been shown to reduce binding strength, (b) binding effects (partial repetition costs) were documented in filtering, and they decreased as a function of ISI, (c) the size of Garner interference was strongly correlated with the size of binding effect (partial repetition costs) in filtering, and (d) feature binding exceeded a critical quantity predicted by the theory to be violated with integral (but not separable) dimensions.
