The past, present, and future of selection history
The last ten years of attention research have witnessed a revolution, replacing a theoretical
dichotomy (top-down vs. bottom-up control) with a trichotomy (biased by current goals …

An adaptive view of attentional control.
BA Anderson - American Psychologist, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
Although humans can voluntarily direct their attention to particular stimuli, attention can at
times be involuntarily allocated to stimuli and such attentional capture can result in …

Statistical learning of distractor locations is dependent on task context
Through statistical learning, humans can learn to suppress visual areas that often contain
distractors. Recent findings suggest that this form of learned suppression is insensitive to …

[HTML][HTML] Trichotomy revisited: A monolithic theory of attentional control
BA Anderson - Vision Research, 2024 - Elsevier
The control of attention was long held to reflect the influence of two competing mechanisms
of assigning priority, one goal-directed and the other stimulus-driven. Learning-dependent …

Time to stop calling it attentional “capture” and embrace a mechanistic understanding of attentional priority

Surprisingly inflexible: Statistically learned suppression of distractors generalizes across contexts
The present study investigates the flexibility of statistically learned distractor suppression
between different contexts. Participants performed the additional singleton task searching for …

Learning to suppress a location is configuration-dependent
Y Gao, J de Waard, J Theeuwes - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2023 - Springer
Where and what we attend is very much determined by what we have encountered in the
past. Recent studies have shown that people learn to extract statistical regularities in the …

Instructional learning of threat-related attentional capture is modulated by state anxiety.
L Grégoire, BA Anderson - Emotion, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
The present study aimed to determine whether persistent threat-related attentional capture
can result from instructional learning, when participants acquire knowledge of the aversive …

Neural correlates of value‐driven spatial orienting
Reward learning has been shown to habitually guide overt spatial attention to specific
regions of a scene. However, the neural mechanisms that support this bias are unknown. In …

Value-biased competition in the auditory system of the brain
Attentional capture by previously reward-associated stimuli has predominantly been
measured in the visual domain. Recently, behavioral studies of value-driven attention have …
