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 …

Accidents readily occur when workers are not attentive to the hazards of their work. For
some professionals, such as workers in the construction and mining industry, exposure to …

People often complain about distraction by irrelevant sounds that reportedly hamper
performance on concurrent visual tasks demanding the allocation of focused attention …

This study aimed to determine whether value-based attentional biases learned in the
auditory domain can correspondingly shape visual attention. A learning phase established …

By linking with rewards, sensory signals gain salience and the ability to influence selective
attention even when they have become irrelevant. The dynamics of reward-driven distraction …

Visual features previously associated with reward can automatically capture attention even
when task-irrelevant, no longer rewarded and not physical salient. This phenomenon is …

The sensory visual cortex (SVC) is involved in encoding information in visual short-term
memory (VSTM). Yet, it remains unclear if the SVC is a necessary component of the brain …
