AB Themechanisms underlying inhibition of return (IOR) are still under debate. Besides the probable implication ofseveral processes in its generation, a reason for this uncertainty may be related to experimental factors affectingthe presence, time course, and magnitude of IOR. Two of them may be related to the arrangement of the stimuliin the visual field that could cause possible interactions between IOR and response conflict effects (horizontalarrangements) or between IOR and perceptual asymmetries (vertical arrangement). The purpose of the presentstudywas to explore location and color cueing effects with a vertical arrangement of stimuli, free of S–R compatibilityeffects. To examine this possibility, a cue-back task with stimuli in the vertical meridian was employed.Targets could randomly and equiprobably appear at cued or uncued locations, or with cued or uncued color.These cueing effects were analyzed on behavior and ERPs separately for upper and lower visual fields (UVFand LVF). Under location cueing, behavioral responses were slower (spatial IOR) in both hemifields. In theERPs, N1 reductions were observed in both visual fields although with different modulations in their latencyand scalp distribution. In the P3 rising beginning, posterior negative deflections in the LVF (Nd) and anteriorpositive deflections (Pd) in the UVF were observed. Under color cueing, P3 amplitude was reduced in the UVFaccompanied by no behavioral effects. These results suggest that different patterns of brain activation can beobtained in upper and lower visual fields under spatial- and non-spatial cueing conditions.
