Attention as a Unitary Concept

Abstract: In this paper, I discuss attention in terms of selecting visual information and acting on it. Selection has been taken as a bedrock concept in attention research since James (1890). Selective attention guides action by privileging some things at the expense of others. I formalize this notion with models which capture the relationship between input and output under the control of spatial and temporal attention, by attenuating or discarding certain inputs and by weighing energetic costs, speed, and accuracy in m… Show more

“…Previous modeling frameworks that incorporate both attention and some dynamic element include: the “attention gating model” 72 , 73 72 74 ; the “theory of visual attention” (TVA) 75 77 ; and the “competitive interaction theory” 17 , 33 , 34 . Each framework includes different model variants, some of which incorporate normalization 17 , 75 .…”
