Abstract: Two experiments were conducted to explore the influence of spatial working memory(SWM)load on inhibition of return (IOR) elicited by central gaze cue. In experiment 1, the cue relevant SWM load was manipulated by changing the similarity between the recognition and memory faces. The results showed that IOR was observed when the cue relevant SWM load was high, while no IOR was observed under low SWM load condition. Experiment 2 was conducted based on the condition that IOR was elicited by central gaze cue in experiment 1, and an additional cue irrelevant SWM task was presented before the gaze cue. The results showed that IOR was observed when the cue irrelevant SWM load was low, while IOR disappeared when the load was high. Taken together, our results revealed that IOR elicited by central gaze cue could be mediated by SWM resources. Whether IOR be elicited by central gaze cue may depend on the degree to which SWM resources was allocated to central gaze cue.

Key words: inhibition of return, spatial working memory, central gaze cue, load
