Visual Cognition, 29(1), 1–21. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949) propose that proactive suppression can help to resolve the long-standing attentional capture debate. They argue that salient but task-irrelevant stimuli automatically generate a priority signal, which leads to attentional capture if it is not suppressed. While this signal suppression framework provides a refreshing new perspective on attentional capture, it cannot fully resolve this debate. To do this, it would have to be demonstrated that task-contingent capture effects in spatial cueing tasks are linked to proactive feature-based suppression preventing attentional capture by salient but irrelevant objects. I argue that there is little evidence if any evidence for such a link. I consider possible reasons why suppression does not seem to play a major role in spatial cueing tasks, and also highlight important general limitations of proactive inhibitory control in visual search.

摘要

运气等。( 2021 Luck, SJ、Gaspelin, N.、Folk, CL、Remington, RW和Theeuwes, J.（2021 年）。解决注意力捕获争论的进展。视觉认知，29（1），1 - 21。https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949 [Taylor & Francis Online]、[Web of Science®]  、[Google Scholar]、解决注意力捕获争论的进展。视觉认知，29(1), 1-21。https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949）提出主动抑制有助于解决长期存在的注意力捕获争论。他们认为，显着但与任务无关的刺激会自动产生优先信号，如果不被抑制，则会导致注意力捕获。虽然这种信号抑制框架为注意力捕获提供了一个令人耳目一新的新视角，但它并不能完全解决这场争论。为此，必须证明空间提示任务中的任务偶然捕获效应与基于特征的主动抑制相关联，以防止显着但不相关的对象引起注意捕获。我认为，如果有任何证据表明这种联系，几乎没有证据。我考虑了抑制似乎在空间提示任务中没有发挥主要作用的可能原因，
