Posner Cueing Task

The Posner Cueing Task is a psychological experiment used to study attention. Participants usually view a computer screen where a cue (like an arrow) indicates where a target (such as a dot) might appear. Sometimes, the cue accurately predicts the target's location, while other times it does not. Researchers measure how quickly participants can respond to the target, analyzing how the cue influences their attention. This task helps to understand how we focus on certain objects in our environment and how expectations can shape our attentiveness.
