Event Files: Evidence for Automatic Integration of Stimulus-Response Episodes
TL;DR: This work has shown that if attention subserves action control, object files may include action-related information as well as stimulus features, and featurebinding may not be restricted to stimulus features but also includefeatures of the responses made to the respective stimulus.

Abstract: One of the main functions that visual attention serves in perception and action is feature binding; that is, integrating all information that belongs to an object. The outcome of this integration has been called “object file”, a hypothetical memory structure coding episodic combinations of stimulus features. Action-oriented approaches to attention, however, suggest that such a purely perceptual or perceptually derived structure may be incomplete: If attention subserves action control, object files may include action-related information as well. That is, featurebinding may notbe restrictedto stimulus features butalso includefeatures of the responses made to the respective stimulus. In three experiments, subjects performed simple, already prepared left- or right-key responses (R1) to the mere presence of “Go” signals (S1) that varied randomly in form, colour and location. Shortly after the prepared response, a binary choice reaction (R2) to the form or colour of a second stimulus (S2) was made. The results ...

The shielding function of task rules in the context of task switching.
TL;DR: Investigation of the cognitive mechanisms underlying this assumed shielding function of task rules and how it is adjusted to changing task demands suggests that shielding is supported by a processing advantage for task-related information and not by distractor suppression.
The microgenesis of action-effect binding
Ilona B. Dutzi,Bernhard Hommel +1 more
TL;DR: The microgenesis of action-effect integration is studied by varying the mapping of action effects upon actions from trial to trial, suggesting that the integration and/or retrieval ofaction effects is modulated by attentional factors.
Contingency learning is reduced for high conflict stimuli
TL;DR: The contingency learning effect is replicated and modified to further test the veracity of the parallel processing accounts in comparison to conflict-mediated Hebbian-learning models by manipulating conflict to test for an interaction between conflict and contingency learning.
Partial repetition costs index a mixture of binding and signaling

TL;DR: The authors found that people respond more slowly in two-choice tasks when either a previous stimulus feature or the previous response repeats in partial repetition trials than when (a) both repeat in complete repetition trials or (b) both alternate in complete alternation trials.
Incongruent abstract stimulus-response bindings result in response interference: Fmri and eeg evidence from visual object classification priming
TL;DR: Evidence for interference effects when incongruent S-R bindings were retrieved, with increased neural activity in inferior pFC, demonstrating that retrieval of S- R bindings can result in facilitation or interference, depending on the congruency of response between repetitions.

A feature-integration theory of attention
Anne Treisman,Garry A. Gelade +1 more
TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

Toward an instance theory of automatization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domainspeciSc knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task.
The reviewing of object files: object-specific integration of information.
TL;DR: The concept of anobject file as a temporary episodic representation, within which successive states of an object are linked and integrated, is developed, which develops the concept of a reviewing process, which is triggered by the appearance of the target and retrieves just one of the previewed items.

Toward an Instance Theory of Automatization
TL;DR: A theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domainspeciSc knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task, providing an alternative to the modal view of automaticity and arguing that novice performance is limited by a lack of knowledge rather than a scarcity of resources.

Saccade target selection and object recognition: evidence for a common attentional mechanism.
TL;DR: The spatial interaction of visual attention and saccadic eye movements was investigated in a dual-task paradigm that required a target-directed saccade in combination with a letter discrimination task and the results favor a model in which a single attentional mechanism selects objects for perceptual processing and recognition, and also provides the information necessary for motor action.
