ABSTRACT

We suggest that consideration of trial-by-trial variations, individual differences, and training data will enrich the current framework in Luck, S. J., Gaspelin, N., Folk, C. L., Remington, R. W., & Theeuwes, J. (2020. Progress toward resolving the attentional capture debate. Visual Cognition, 1–21. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949). We consider whether attentional capture is modulated by trial-by-trial fluctuations of attentional state and experiences on the previous trial. We also consider whether individual differences may affect attentional capture while highlighting potential challenges in using the colour-singleton task to measure individual differences. Finally, performance in the colour-singleton task can be modified dramatically with practice but the underlying mechanisms are not entirely clear. Understanding the malleability of attentional capture may broaden the current framework and resolve outstanding questions.

摘要

我们建议考虑逐次试验的变化、个体差异和训练数据将丰富 Luck, SJ, Gaspelin, N., Folk, CL, Remington, RW, & Theeuwes, J. (2020. Progress) 的当前框架解决注意力捕获的争论。视觉认知, 1–21。https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949）。我们考虑注意力捕获是否受到前一次试验中注意力状态和经验的逐次试验波动的调节。我们还考虑了个体差异是否会影响注意力捕获，同时强调使用颜色单一任务来衡量个体差异的潜在挑战。最后，颜色单一任务的表现可以通过实践显着改变，但潜在的机制并不完全清楚。了解注意力捕获的可塑性可能会拓宽当前的框架并解决悬而未决的问题。
