The processing requirements of the shadowing response have led to criticisms of its use in selective attention experiments. The present experiment tested a single highly skilled shadower (N. Moray) using a task requiring the detection of digits embedded in dichotic lists of letters, with attention being directed to one list by use of the shadow technique. This subject was able to detect considerably more digits in both the attended and unattended messages than were groups of unskilled shadowers previously tested. Although performance to the unattended message was high, it remained below performance to the attended message.
