A Model of IOR in Neural and Cognitive Control

Inhibition of return (IOR) refers to a performance decrement for stimuli appearing at recently cued location. Both attentional and motor processes have been implicated in the IOR effect. This paper first reviewed the role of IOR in both behavioral and neural levels, and then a model of IOR in neural and cognitive control was proposed. Finally, we discussed this model and concluded it's valid that the attention-based component of IOR was presented in the cortex and the oculomotor component of IOR was presented in the colliculus.
