Reward-associated objects receive preferential attention, reflecting a bias in information processing that develops automatically following associative learning. Mounting evidence suggests that such value-driven attention operates abnormally in certain psychopathologies, with attentional biases for reward-associated objects being either exaggerated or blunted compared to healthy controls. Here, I review the evidence linking value-driven attention to psychopathology, including drug addiction, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compulsivity, and impulsive and risky decision-making. I conclude by offering an integrative framework for conceptualizing the link between value-driven attention and psychopathology, along with suggestions for future research into this burgeoning area of investigation, including research on object attachment.

将价值驱动的注意力与精神病理学联系起来

与奖励相关的对象受到优先关注，反映了在关联学习之后自动发展的信息处理中的偏见。越来越多的证据表明，这种价值驱动的注意力在某些精神病理学中表现异常，与健康对照相比，对奖励相关对象的注意力偏见要么被夸大要么被削弱。在这里，我回顾了将价值驱动的注意力与精神病理学联系起来的证据，包括吸​​毒成瘾、抑郁症、注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD)、强迫症以及冲动和冒险的决策。最后，我提供了一个综合框架来概念化价值驱动的注意力和精神病理学之间的联系，以及对未来研究这一新兴研究领域的建议，
