This research showed that the current criterion for stimulus-driven attentional capture is not sufficient to rule out goal-directed processes that are critical for producing attentional capture. This was shown by demonstrating a contingency between displaywide visual features (i.e., features that signal the appearance of the task-relevant target display as a whole) and the features that capture attention. In Experiment 1, the target display was signaled by both color and onset; in Experiment 2, the target display was signaled only by onset. As expected, Experiment 1 showed that task-irrelevant color and onset distractors both captured attention, whereas Experiment 2 showed that only onset distractors captured attention. These contingencies suggest that the strongest evidence currently available for stimulus-driven attentional capture may be caused by goal-directed processes.
这项研究表明，当前用于刺激驱动的注意捕获的标准不足以排除对产生注意捕获至关重要的目标导向过程。这是通过证明全视野视觉特征（即作为一个整体信号任务相关目标显示出现的特征）与捕获注意的特征之间的一种偶然性来表明的。在实验1中，目标显示由颜色和起始点两者发出信号；在实验2中，目标显示仅由起始点发出信号。正如预期的那样，实验1表明与任务无关的颜色和起始点干扰物都捕获了注意，而实验2表明只有起始点干扰物捕获了注意。这些偶然性表明，目前可用于刺激驱动的注意捕获的最有力证据可能是由目标导向过程引起的。
