Reconciling the influence of predictiveness and uncertainty on stimulus salience: a model of attention in associative learning

GR Esber, M Haselgrove - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2011 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Theories of selective attention in associative learning posit that the salience of a cue will be

Overt attention and predictiveness in human contingency learning.

ME Le Pelley, T Beesley, O Griffiths - Journal of Experimental …, 2011 - psycnet.apa.org
Two experiments used eye-tracking procedures to investigate the relationship between
