	A centrally located cue directed attention to one of several stimulus
	positions in preparation for the identification of a target letter
	embedded in an array of distractor letters. In all experiments, one
	stimulus (either the target or one of the distractors) had an abrupt
	onset; the remaining letters did not. The effectiveness of the cue
	was manipulated (varying either its duration or its predictive validity)
	to test whether abrupt onsets capture attention even when subjects
	are in a highly focused attentional state. Results showed that onsets
	do not necessarily capture attention in violation of an observer's
	intentions. A mechanism for partially automatic attentional capture
	by abrupt onset is proposed, and the diagnosticity of the intentionality
	criterion for automaticity is discussed.},
