In this study, we will investigate the protective state of the item in the focus of attention from perceptual interference as previously has been found in different retro-cue paradigms (e.g., Barth & Schneider, 2018; Hollingworth & Maxcey-Richard, 2013; Makovski, 2012; Makovski & Jiang, 2007; Makovski & Pertzov, 2015; Schneider et al., 2017; van Moorselaar et al., 2015). To do so, we will use a 100% valid retro-cue as was typically used in the studies finding this protective state for the item in the focus of attention. If the item in the focus of attention is indeed protected against perceptual interference, we expect to find that a disruptive effect of perceptual interference is small, or absent, for cued items while there is a clear disruptive effect of perceptual interference for uncued items.
