ABSTRACT

Luck, Gaspelin, Folk, Remington, and Theeuwes [(2021). Progress toward resolving the attentional capture debate. Visual Cognition, 29(1), 1–21. doi:10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949] provide a valuable status report on our collective understanding of attentional capture, and they succeed at identifying common ground and articulating persisting points of discord. Here, I contribute two points. First, while there is limited evidence individuals can explicitly and proactively suppress salient distractors, investigations into this question have not always considered participants’ motivation and strategy use. Second, in evaluating how attentional suppression is guided by past experience, or selection history, one must consider the significant role of associative learning, which is revealed via context-dependent phenomena.

摘要

Luck、Gaspelin、Folk、Remington 和 Theeuwes [（2021 年）。解决注意力捕获争论的进展。视觉认知，29(1), 1-21。doi:10.1080/13506285.2020.1848949] 提供了一份关于我们对注意力捕获的集体理解的宝贵状态报告，他们成功地确定了共同点并阐明了持续存在的不和谐点。在这里，我贡献两点。首先，虽然个人可以明确主动抑制显着干扰因素的证据有限，但对这个问题的调查并不总是考虑参与者的动机和策略使用。其次，在评估过去的经验或选择历史如何引导注意力抑制时，必须考虑联想学习的重要作用，这是通过上下文相关现象揭示的。
