ABSTRACT

Although physical salience looms large in the attentional capture literature, stimuli can also capture attention via salience deriving from non-physical factors. Such psychological salience can stem, for example, from the emotional resonance of stimuli or their relevance to a person’s expertise. We consider how insights from a recently proposed framework for attentional capture can be used to advance theory and drive research on the role of emotion-driven attentional biases in clinical disorders and on how attentional allocation changes with the development of perceptual expertise. In return, we wonder how their common framework can be enriched through considerations of psychological salience.

摘要

尽管物理显着性在注意力捕获文献中显得很重要，但刺激也可以通过源自非物理因素的显着性来捕获注意力。例如，这种心理显着性可能源于刺激的情感共鸣或其与一个人的专业知识的相关性。我们考虑如何使用最近提出的注意力捕获框架的见解来推进理论和推动关于情绪驱动的注意力偏差在临床疾病中的作用以及注意力分配如何随着感知专业知识的发展而变化的研究。作为回报，我们想知道如何通过考虑心理显着性来丰富他们的共同框架。
