ABSTRACT

We agree with [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] that selection history will play a role in explaining attentional capture. But their conception of history effects (or priming) lacks a clear explication of how attentional history fulfils the crucial role of guiding attention and modulating attentional capture. A full account must make the operational principles that enable attentional history to modify attentional capture explicit. Recent findings on how attentional history can tune target templates and how the learning of distractor feature distributions may influence attentional capture provide clues about mechanisms that can explain how attentional capture is modulated by attentional history.

摘要

我们同意 [Luck, SJ, Gaspelin, N., Folk, CL, Remington, RW, & Theeuwes, J. (2021)。解决注意力捕获争论的进展。视觉认知，29(1), 1-21] 选择历史将在解释注意力捕获方面发挥作用。但是他们对历史效应（或启动）的概念缺乏对注意力历史如何发挥引导注意力和调节注意力捕获的关键作用的明确解释。一个完整的帐户必须使使注意力历史能够修改注意力捕获的操作原则变得明确。最近关于注意力历史如何调整目标模板以及干扰特征分布的学习如何影响注意力捕获的最新发现提供了有关机制的线索，可以解释注意力捕获如何被注意力历史调节。
