Distractor suppression, or the ability to disregard salient distractors while dealing with task-relevant information, is a key component of selective attention. Recent research has shown that distractor suppression can take place in different circumstances and present itself in different guises, which is presumably paralleled by a multiplicity of underlying neural mechanisms. In this review article, we discuss a number of central themes concerning distractor suppression and the underlying neural mechanisms, and also highlight several unresolved issues that will have to be addressed in future investigations.
分心物抑制,即在处理与任务相关的信息时忽略显著分心物的能力,是选择性注意的一个关键组成部分。最近的研究表明,分心物抑制可以在不同的情况下发生,并以不同的形式表现出来,这大概与多种潜在的神经机制相对应。在这篇综述文章中,我们讨论了一些关于分心物抑制和潜在神经机制的核心主题,并强调了未来研究中必须解决的几个未解决的问题。
