Selective attention affords scrutinizing items in our environment. However, attentional selection changes over time and across space. Empirically, repetition of visual search conditions changes attentional processing. Priming of pop-out is a vivid example. Repeatedly searching for the same pop-out search feature is accomplished with faster response times and fewer errors. We review the psychophysical background of priming of pop-out, focusing on the hypothesis that it arises through changes in visual selective attention. We also describe research done with macaque monkeys to understand the neural mechanisms supporting visual selective attention and priming of pop-out, and survey research on priming of pop-out using noninvasive brain measures with humans. We conclude by hypothesizing three alternative neural mechanisms and highlighting open questions.

选择性注意可以仔细检查我们环境中的项目。然而，注意力选择会随着时间和空间的变化而变化。根据经验，视觉搜索条件的重复会改变注意力处理。弹出的启动就是一个生动的例子。重复搜索相同的弹出搜索功能可实现更快的响应时间和更少的错误。我们回顾了弹出启动的心理物理背景，重点关注它是通过视觉选择性注意的变化而产生的假设。我们还描述了对猕猴进行的研究，以了解支持视觉选择性注意和弹出式启动的神经机制，以及使用人类非侵入性脑测量对弹出式启动的调查研究。
