Examining habituation of the startle reflex with the reinforcement sensitivity theory of personality.

abstract：:The Attentional Blink (AB) usually refers to the impaired report of a second target (T2) if it appears within 200-500 ms after a first target within a rapid sequence of distractors. The present study focused on a less studied AB variant known as the unmasked AB, where T2 is the last item of the sequence and T2 report ...
