The theoretical relation between preattentive processes and automatic processes is different in different approaches to attention and automaticity. In the modal view, automatic and preattentive processes are one and the same; automatic processing is preattentive. In recent views that treat automaticity as a memory phenomenon, automatic processing is postattentive. These views are described and evidence for them is discussed. Two experiments are reported that test whether the training that makes processing automatic also makes it preattentive. The data suggest a dissociation between automatic and preattentive processes that is more consistent with the memory view of automaticity than with the modal view.
前注意过程与自动过程之间的理论关系在不同的注意和自动性研究方法中有所不同。在传统观点中，自动过程和前注意过程是同一回事；自动加工是前注意的。在最近将自动性视为一种记忆现象的观点中，自动加工是后注意的。本文描述了这些观点并讨论了支持它们的证据。报告了两项实验，测试使加工具有自动性的训练是否也使其具有前注意性。数据表明自动过程和前注意过程之间存在分离，这与自动性的记忆观点比与传统观点更一致。
