In the following paragraphs, we will argue that although many studies reviewed by Ruz and Lupiáñez clearly show that a top-down modulation plays an important role in determining the location to which attention will be deployed, attentional capture is stimulus-driven in nature. We agree with the authors' claim that the endogenous component is much more relevant than was hypothesised by early works in the field, but we will discuss data showing that, under some critical conditions, it is possible to observe a purely stimulusdriven attentional deployment, that is attentional capture by an item characterised as being a salient singleton in a task-irrelevant feature dimension.
MODULABILITY DOES NOT UNDERMINE THE STIMULUS-DRIVEN NATURE OF ATTENTIONAL CAPTURE

Abstract
In the following paragraphs, we will argue that although many studies reviewed by Ruz and Lupiáñez clearly show that a top-down modulation plays an important role in determining the location to which attention will be deployed, attentional capture is stimulus-driven in nature. We agree with the authors' claim that the endogenous component is much more relevant than was hypothesised by early works in the field, but we will discuss data showing that, under some critical conditions, it is possible to observe a purely stimulusdriven attentional deployment, that is attentional capture by an item characterised as being a salient singleton in a task-irrelevant feature dimension.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
