Fleck and Mitroff thought that missing low-prevalence items in visual search might be due to overly fast response, and tested this by presenting visual displays with line drawings of various objects for visual search

response had been in error. Under these conditions:
a) the effect of low-prevalence was greatly exaggerated.
b) the effect of low-prevalence was greatly reduced.
c) nothing changed – low prevalence targets were missed just as much as before.
d) the effects of low-prevalence were greater than in Wolfe et al., which featured actual bag-screening displays.
