Abstract
A new presentation of a previously displayed target stimulus makes the reviewing process automatically recover its previous episodic representation. Reviewing is automatic only if it is not affected by visual attention. This assumption was carefully evaluated in two experiments with different manipulations of visual attention. In experiment 1, reviewing was compared using early and late cues. In experiment 2, reviewing was compared using early cues that anticipated the correct (valid cues) and the incorrect (invalid cues) target locations. In both experiments an attentional effect was shown but the reviewing process was not affected by it. In addition, with regard to the "type" and "token" distinction, object specific priming appeared only when the target proceeded from the upper visual field, while conventional priming was not affected by this fact.
