When goals conflict with values: counterproductive attentional and oculomotor capture by reward-related stimuli.
Attention provides the gateway to cognition, by selecting certain stimuli for further analysis. Recent research demonstrates that whether a stimulus captures attention is not determined solely by its physical properties, but is malleable, being influenced by our previous experience of rewards obtained by attending to that stimulus. Here we show that this influence of reward learning on attentio...
متن کاملCognitive control and counterproductive oculomotor capture by reward-related stimuli
Two experiments investigated the extent to which value-modulated oculomotor capture is subject to top-down control. In these experiments, participants were never required to look at the reward-related stimuli; indeed, doing so was directly counterproductive because it caused omission of the reward that would otherwise have been obtained. In Experiment 1, participants were explicitly informed of...
متن کاملThe problem of latent attentional capture: Easy visual search conceals capture by task-irrelevant abrupt onsets.
Researchers are sharply divided regarding whether irrelevant abrupt onsets capture spatial attention. Numerous studies report that they do and a roughly equal number report that they do not. This puzzle has inspired numerous attempts at reconciliation, none gaining general acceptance. The authors propose that abrupt onsets routinely capture attention, but the size of observed capture effects de...
متن کاملSalient-but-irrelevant stimuli cause attentional capture in difficult, but attentional suppression in easy visual search.
Search for a shape target is difficult when its shape is similar to the shape of the surrounding nontargets and easy when it is dissimilar. We asked whether interference from a salient but irrelevant color singleton depended on search difficulty as manipulated by target-nontarget similarity. We found that interference was strong in difficult searches, and the occurrence of an electrophysiologic...
متن کاملAttentional capture by task-irrelevant fearful faces is revealed by the N2pc component
We measured the N2pc component as an electrophysiological indicator of attentional selection to investigate whether fearful faces can attract attention even when they are entirely task-irrelevant and attention is focused on another demanding visual monitoring task. Participants had to detect infrequent luminance changes of the fixation cross, while ignoring stimulus arrays containing a face sin...
