ABSTRACT

Luck et al. (2021 Luck, S. J., Gaspelin, N., Folk, C. L., Remington, R. W., & Theeuwes, J. (2021). Progress toward resolving the attentional capture debate. Visual Cognition, 29(1), 1–21. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) reviewed evidence that observers can learn to suppress attentional capture by salient distractors. Several commentaries were written in response to this review paper, many of which raised important and interesting issues. Here, we respond to these commentaries. Although there has been substantial progress in the attentional capture debate, there are still remaining issues that need to be addressed before the debate is completely resolved. Specifically, we summarize the need for an independent measure of bottom-up salience and better metrics of how attentional control unfolds over time. Ultimately, the field may need a more refined theoretical model of visual attention that distinguishes between attentional priority, attentional orienting, and attentional engagement.

摘要

幸运等人。( 2021 Luck, SJ , Gaspelin, N. , Folk, CL , Remington, RW和Theeuwes, J. ( 2021 )。解决注意力捕获辩论的进展。视觉认知, 29 (1), 1 – 21。https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949 [Taylor & Francis Online]、[Web of Science®]  、[Google Scholar]) 审查了观察者可以学会抑制显着干扰因素的注意力捕获的证据。针对这篇评论文章写了几篇评论，其中许多提出了重要和有趣的问题。在这里，我们回应这些评论。尽管注意力捕获辩论取得了实质性进展，但在辩论完全解决之前仍有一些问题需要解决。具体来说，我们总结了对自下而上的显着性的独立衡量以及注意力控制如何随时间展开的更好衡量标准的必要性。最终，该领域可能需要一个更精细的视觉注意理论模型，以区分注意优先级、注意定向和注意参与。
