Firestone & Scholl (F&S) bracket many attentional effects as "peripheral," altering the inputs to a cognitive process without altering the processing itself. By way of contrast, I highlight an emerging class of neurocomputational models that imply profound, pervasive, nonperipheral influences of attention on perception. This transforms the landscape for empirical debates concerning possible top-down effects on perception.
菲尔斯通和舒尔（F&S）将许多注意力效应归类为“外围”，这些效应改变了认知过程的输入，而不改变处理过程本身。相比之下，我强调了一类新兴的神经计算模型，这些模型暗示了注意对感知的深远、普遍、非外围影响。这改变了关于可能的自上而下的影响的实证争论的格局。
