Nontarget-to-nontarget interval (NNI) and target-to-target interval (TTI), known as stimulus-to-matching stimulus interval, maintain their popularity in terms of examining event-related potential outcomes. Although it is stated that TTI is a predictor of P3 response, there are conflicting results in studies conducted by manipulating NNI. The conflicting findings for NNI can be shown as the deterioration of the template in working memory by the intervening target stimuli. We aimed to investigate the effects of manipulating the target-to-novel interval (TNI) within a visual three-stimulus (novelty) paradigm on event-related potential (ERP) responses, predicting that TNI would give consistent results in terms of P3a responses.
