Although there was a numerical trend towards larger singleton presence costs (an index of attention capture by the color singleton distractor) in the first halves of the blocks (10 ms) than the second halves of the blocks (−6 ms), F (1, 69) = 3.25, p = .08, η p 2 = .05 (see Fig. 2 B), this effect was only a small fraction of the effect reported in Vatterott and Vecera’s ( 2012 ) Experiment 1 (approximately 77 ms vs. −29 ms for the first and second halves, respectively, as estimated from their Fig. 2 ).
