The attention habit: How reward learning shapes attentional selection
BA Anderson - Annals of the new York Academy of Sciences, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Attention and associative learning in humans: An integrative review.
This article presents a comprehensive survey of research concerning interactions between
associative learning and attention in humans. Four main findings are described. First …

Reward-driven distraction: A meta-analysis.
People have a strong tendency to attend to reward cues, even if these cues are irrelevant to
their current goal or their current task. When reward cues are goal-irrelevant, their presence …

The relationship between visual attention and visual working memory encoding: A dissociation between covert and overt orienting.
There is substantial debate over whether visual working memory (VWM) and visual attention
constitute a single system for the selection of task-relevant perceptual information or whether …

Are there multiple ways to direct attention in working memory?
In visual working memory tasks, memory for an item is enhanced if participants are told that
the item is relatively more valuable than others presented within the same trial. Experiment 1 …

Working memory accuracy for multiple targets is driven by reward expectation and stimulus contrast with different time-courses
The richness of sensory input dictates that the brain must prioritize and select information for
further processing and storage in working memory. Stimulus salience and reward …

[HTML][HTML] Reward and loss incentives improve spatial working memory by sha** trial-by-trial posterior frontoparietal signals
Integrating motivational signals with cognition is critical for goal-directed activities. The

Reward selectively modulates the lingering neural representation of recently attended objects in natural scenes
Theories of reinforcement learning and approach behavior suggest that reward can increase
the perceptual salience of environmental stimuli, ensuring that potential predictors of …

Gotcha: Working memory prioritization from automatic attentional biases
SM Ravizza, KM Conn - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2022 - Springer
Attention is an important resource for prioritizing information in working memory (WM), and it
can be deployed both strategically and automatically. Most research investigating the …

Transcranial random-noise stimulation of visual cortex potentiates value-driven attentional capture
Reward feedback following visual search causes the visual characteristics of targets to
become salient and attention-drawing, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying …
