	in perception. Taking as a starting point the effects of display
	content on rapid attention transfer and manipulating curvature, closure,
	and processing time, a link between objects of attention and objects
	of perception is proposed. In Experiment 1, a number of parallel,
	equally spaced, straight lines facilitated attention transfer along
	the lines, relative to transfer across the lines. In Experiment 2,
	with curved, closed-contour shapes, no 'same-object' facilitation
	was observed. However, when a longer time interval was provided,
	in Experiment 3, a same-object advantage started to emerge. In Experiment
	4, using the same curved shapes but in a non-speeded distance estimation
	task, a strong effect of objects was observed. It is argued that
	attention transfer is facilitated by line tracing but that line tracing
	is encouraged by objects.}
