Previous research has shown that attentional selection is affected by reward contingencies:
previously selected and rewarded stimuli continue to capture attention even if the reward …

Attention selects stimuli for perceptual and cognitive processing according to an adaptive
selection schedule. It has long been known that attention selects stimuli that are task …

There is growing consensus that reward plays an important role in the control of attention.
Until recently, reward was thought to influence attention indirectly by modulating task …

Recent studies have shown that reward history acts as a powerful attentional bias, even
overcoming top-down goals. This has led to the suggestion that rewards belong to a class of …

Attention is biased towards learned predictors of reward. The influence of reward history on
attentional capture has been shown to be context-specific: When particular stimulus features …

Previously rewarded stimuli involuntarily capture attention. The learning mechanisms
underlying this value-driven attentional capture remain less understood. We tested whether …

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 …

Stimuli that have previously been associated with the delivery of reward involuntarily capture
attention when presented as unrewarded and task-irrelevant distractors in a subsequent …

The traditional distinction between exogenous and endogenous attentional control has
recently been enriched with an additional mode of control, termed “selection history.” Recent …

Recent evidence shows that distractors that signal high compared to low reward availability
elicit stronger attentional capture, even when this is detrimental for task-performance. This …
