Rewarding outcomes enhance attentional capture and delay attentional disengagement [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Attentional capture and disengagement are distinct process involved in attentional orienting. Most current studies have examined either the process of attentional capture or disengagement by manipulating stimuli associated with either positive (gains) or

Identical Attentional Capture with Different Working Memory Representation Precision [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesAttention can be automatically captured by the distractor that matches the representation of working memory (WM) in search tasks, impairing visual search efficiency and resulting in attentional capture effects.

Distinct roles of theta and alpha oscillations in the process of contingent attentional capture [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionVisual spatial attention can be captured by a salient color singleton that is contingent on the target feature. A previous study reported that theta (4–7 Hz) and alpha (8–14 Hz) oscillations were related to contingent attentional capture, but

Long-term mind-body exercise enhances cognitive control over working memory-driven attentional capture [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyInternal representations in working memory (WM) automatically bias attention toward matching stimuli, a process termed WM-driven attentional capture that is modulated by cognitive control.

The Attentional Capture Debate: When Can We Avoid Salient Distractors and When Not? [PDF]
Journal of Cognition, 2023 There has been a long-standing debate concerning whether we are able to resist attention capture by salient distractors. The so-called “signal suppression hypothesis” of Gaspelin and Luck (2018) claimed to have resolved this debate.

Prospective Distractor Information Reduces Reward-Related Attentional Capture [PDF]
Journal of CognitionMotivationally salient stimuli, such as those associated with reward, can automatically gain attentional prioritisation – even when individuals are motivated to ignore such stimuli.

Improved response inhibition induced by attentional capture is associated with physical activity [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The ability to stop a response promptly when a stop signal is presented is named response inhibition. It is generally accepted that the process of response inhibition requires a subject to pay attention to the stop instruction and then cancel the action.

Attentional Biases and Their Association with Substance-Use-Related Problems and Addictive Behaviors: The Utility of a Gamified Value-Modulated Attentional Capture Task [PDF]
Addictive Behaviors ReportsBackground: Attentional biases towards reward stimuli have been implicated in substance use-related problems. The value-modulated attentional capture (VMAC) task assesses such reward-related biases.

Cue predictability does not modulate bottom-up attentional capture [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Attention can be involuntarily captured by physically salient stimuli, a phenomenon known as bottom-up attention. Typically, these salient stimuli occur unpredictably in time and space.
