Reports an error in "Statistical regularities induce spatial as well as feature-specific suppression" by Michel Failing, Tobias Feldmann-Wüstefeld, Benchi Wang, Christian Olivers and Jan Theeuwes (, Advanced Online Publication, Jun 03, 2019, np). In the article, Figure 1 was an older version and has been updated. All versions of this article have been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2019-30163-001.) We are constantly extracting regularities from the visual environment to optimize attentional orienting. Here we examine the phenomenon that recurrent presentation of distractors in a specific location leads to its attentional suppression. Specifically, we address the question whether suppression is specific to the spatial regularities of distractors or also extends to visual features bearing statistical regularities. To that end, we used a visual search task with two high-probability locations, each showing one of two distractor types more often than the other. At these high-probability locations, target processing was impaired and attentional capture by either distractor was reduced, consistent with feature-unspecific spatial suppression. However, suppression was more facilitated when the distractor feature was presented at the high-probability location that matched its features, suggesting feature-specific suppression. Interestingly, feature-unspecific spatial suppression only spread between locations when distractors varied within a feature dimension (e.g., red and green) but not when they varied across feature dimensions (e.g., red and square). Our findings thus demonstrate a joint influence of implicitly learned spatial and feature regularities on attention and reveal how the visual system can benefit from complex statistical regularities.

报告 Michel Failing、Tobias Feldmann-Wüstefeld、Benchi Wang、Christian Olivers 和 Jan Theeuwes 发表的“统计规律诱导空间和特征特异性抑制”（，高级在线发布，2019 年 6 月 3 日，np）中的错误。在文章中，图 1 是旧版本，已更新。本文的所有版本都已更正。（以下为原始文章摘要，出现在记录 2019-30163-001 中。）我们不断从视觉环境中提取规律以优化注意力导向。在这里，我们研究了在特定位置反复呈现分心物会导致其注意力抑制的现象。具体来说，我们提出了一个问题，即抑制是否特定于分心物的空间规律，还是也扩展到具有统计规律的视觉特征。为此，我们使用了一个具有两个高概率位置的视觉搜索任务，每个位置显示两种分心物类型中的一种比另一种更频繁。在这些高概率位置，目标处理受到损害，并且任何一种分心物的注意力捕获都减少了，这与特征非特异性空间抑制一致。然而，当特征与高概率位置匹配的分心物呈现时，抑制更容易发生，这表明存在特征特异性抑制。有趣的是，只有当分心物在一个特征维度内变化（例如红色和绿色）而不是在特征维度之间变化（例如红色和正方形）时，特征非特异性空间抑制才会在位置之间传播。我们的发现表明，隐含学习的空间和特征规律对注意力有共同的影响，并揭示了视觉系统如何从复杂的统计规律中受益。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
