This article reports three experiments in which the effects of cue duration on involuntary orienting to
uninformative symbolic cues (arrows presented at fixation) were investigated. Experiment 1 showed
that symbolic cues had less effect on involuntary orienting when they were presented for only 25 msec
than when they were presented for 200 msec across a range of stimulus onset asynchronies. Experi-
ment 2 suggested that the effect of cue duration on involuntary orienting was due primarily to top-down
strategic factors, rather than to bottom-up stimulus factors, and Experiment 3 suggested that these
strategic factors may involve differences in how the cue is processed. Altogether, the present findings
are important because they emphasize the distinction between cue processing and the putative invol-
untary orienting that results from such processing in the symbolic-cuing paradigm. In so doing, the pres-
ent results help resolve discrepant findings that have been reported across previous studies.

Method
Participants. Forty different undergraduates from the University
of Notre Dame participated in this experiment in partial fulfillment
of a course requirement. All the participants in the study reported
normal or corrected-to-normal vision. None was aware of the pur-
pose of the study.
Stimuli and Apparatus. The stimuli and apparatus were identical
to those in Experiment 1, with the sole exception being the addition
of a bar cue. The bar cue was constructed by removing the head of
the arrow. The resultant bar measured the same length and width as
the original arrow but did not point in any specific direction.
Procedure. The procedure was identical to that in Experiment 1,
with the sole exception being that the arrow cue now appeared on
only 75% of the trials within a block; the bar cue appeared on the
remaining 25% of the trials. As in Experiment 1, the validity of the
arrow cue was only 12.5%. The observers were instructed to re-
spond (in the same manner as in Experiment 1) only if an arrow
preceded the target display. In addition, although the appearance of
the arrow was relevant to the response, the observers were also told Figure 4. Mean correct response times obtained on go trials in
