Emotion
Recent research has also shown that when the second target (T2) in RSVP is an emotional word it is more likely to be perceived during the attentional blink. This research suggests that emotion mediates attention.

There have also been studies using images as emotional stimuli. Emotionally negative pictures preceding the target by 2 items were found to induce greater deficits in processing the target stimuli than neutral pictures did. Thus, it seems that emotional information can elicit attentional biases which temporarily prevent awareness of actively sought out stimuli.
