چکیده
Ruz and Lupiáñez have provided a comprehensive review of the attentional capture research and we agree with their conclusion that attentional capture is automatic by default, but can be modulated by endogenous factors. One such endogenous factor is an attentional control setting, whereby topdown processes largely determine what type of visual events will capture attention. As noted by Ruz and Lupiáñez, there is considerable evidence both for attentional control settings and for the significant impact such settings have on various types of attentional tasks (although there is evidence that, in certain situations, bottom-up processes may largely determine behavior). Of particular interest to us was the discussion on how attentional control settings operate. In their original work regarding the influence of task demands on attentional capture, Folk and Remington (e.g., Folk, Remington & Johnston, 1992; Folk, Remington & Wright, 1994) conceived the attentional control setting as a filter that allows attention to be captured at locations where a peripheral event (i.e., the cue) shares some critical feature with the task (i.e., the target). Thus, according to Folk and Remington, attention is not allocated to locations where the cue does not share some task relevant feature with the target (see also, Remington, Folk & McLean, 2001). Recently, Theeuwes and colleagues suggested that attentional control settings are more likely to operate through the rapid disengagement of attention from a cued location (Theeuwes, Atchley & Kramer, 2000).

متن کاملA review of Attentional Capture: On its automaticity and sensitivity to endogenous control
It is well known that irrelevant stimuli can control where we attend. However, in the literature about the so-called attentional capture phenomenon, there has been a great deal of discussion about the extent to which such effects are automatic or rather modulated by endogenous factors. The present article reviews data and theory related to this debate. Although both exogenous and endogenous fac...

متن کاملHigh density ERP indices of conscious and unconscious semantic priming.
The existence of differential brain mechanisms of conscious and unconscious processing is a matter of debate nowadays. The present experiment explores whether conscious and unconscious semantic priming in a lexical decision task at a long prime-target stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) correlate with overlapping or different event related potential (ERP) effects. Results show that the N400 effect,...
