The time course of visual word processing was investigated in two tasks differing in whether words were "selected for action" (Allport, 1989). Using identical displays in which a square color patch appeared at fixation with either 2, 4, or 8 flanking words appearing at any of the 8 sides and corners, subjects performed either a Stroop color-naming task or a word search task requiring detection of a color name among the flanking words by either a manual presence/absence response (Experiment 1) or a vocal naming response (Experiment 2). The color-naming task produced Stroop effects indicating parallel word processing in multiword displays, whereas the word search task produced evidence consistent with serial, self-terminating search requiring allocation of spatial attention. The differences in word processing across tasks are reconciled using Allport's concept of selection for action and extended to neuropsychological evidence on attention.
