“…Note that this automatism cannot be based on specific stimulus-response bindings acquired during unmasked trials because the stimulus lists used in unmasked and masked trials were distinct. This interpretation is also in line with recent evidence suggesting that the endogenous cueing of nonemotional, simple cues can be based on implicit cue usage (e.g., Bonato et al, 2016; Peterson & Gibson, 2011; Risko & Stolz, 2010; see also Bartolomeo et al, 2007).…”

“…Specifically, anticipatory attentional process might proceed more quickly, efficiently or involuntarily when attentional cues are emotional (for a review of amygdala-based preferential emotional attention from the viewpoint of automatic attention to emotional stimuli, see Pourtois, Schettino, & Vuilleumier, 2013). While the prevailing view on endogenous cueing is that slow, strategic, voluntarily controlled processes underlie attentional orienting when central symbolic cues are used (e.g., Egeth & Yantis, 1997; Müller & Rabbitt, 1989; Posner, 1980), more recent evidence suggests that more “automatic” processes can also give rise or contribute to the endogenous cueing effect (e.g., Bonato, Lisi, Pegoraro, & Pourtois, 2016; Peterson & Gibson, 2011; Risko & Stolz, 2010; see also Bartolomeo, Decaix, & Siéroff, 2007). Specifically, this view assumes that in a typical endogenous cueing paradigm, participants are able to allocate their attention on the basis of implicit learning of cue-dependent target location probabilities, that is, without or independently of conscious effort or awareness of these contingencies, at least if simple central cues are used—such as color cues or cues with intrinsic spatial meaning—because salient cue information might facilitate contingency learning (Bonato et al, 2016; Peterson & Gibson, 2011).…”

Note that this account does not rule out the possibility that endogenous cueing can be a result of strategic attentional control, but emphasizes that this is not necessarily the case: “Automatic” processes can contribute to observed performance facilitation at least at short SOAs (Risko & Stolz, 2010).…”

The emotional value of a stimulus influences how the stimulus itself is perceived, and can “automatically” give rise to processes whose characteristics are inherently related to the emotional content of the stimuli (e.g., emotion-specific action tendencies). However, to provide optimal contextual flexibility, we propose that emotional information can be utilized in an “automatic” manner for novel, goal-directed processes that are not inherently signaled by the emotional meaning of the stimulus. We investigated this question using the endogenous cueing paradigm: Specifically, we asked how rapidly, efficiently, and to what degree of specificity emotional expressions can be utilized to anticipate the location of targets. We tested the specificity of the utilized emotional information by presenting emotional faces with contrasting affective valence (i.e., joy and anger) or pairs of negative expressions (e.g., anger and fear) as informative central cues. By presenting both masked and visible face cues, we tested whether and to what degree of specificity facial expressions can be utilized to orient attention under conditions of limited cue awareness. Cue validity effects emerged consistently in all experiments, and cuing effects built up fast, already at 300 ms cue-target asynchrony, and—at least partly—on the basis of holistic face representation. These results indicate that emotional faces can be utilized in line with a context-specific goal, with high specificity, rapidly, and even on the basis of limited perceptual input, suggesting that the utilization of emotional information can combine remarkable efficiency and situational flexibility in order to achieve optimal outcomes in various critical situations.

“…Therefore, Experiment 2 sought a way to cue participants completely endogenously. To do so, participants first learned to associate a particular colour (e.g., red) with a particular spatial location (e.g., left); consistently, in the main experiment, the colour of the fixation cross endogenously cued participants to pay attention to either the left or right spatial location (Bonato et al, 2018; Meyer et al, 2018). We further explored the effect of purely endogenous orienting induced by the predictability of the cue on MSI.…”

Previous studies have separately found that exogenous orienting decreases multisensory integration (MSI), while endogenous orienting enhances MSI. It is currently unclear, however, why the two orientations have opposite effects on MSI. In the current study, we investigated the interaction between spatial attention and MSI in two experiments based on the cue-target paradigm. Experiment 1 separated exogenous and endogenous orienting to investigate the effect of spatial attention on MSI by varying the predictability of the cue. Experiment 2 further explored the effect of endogenous orienting on MSI. We found that exogenous orienting induced by the directionality of the cue decreased MSI, while endogenous orienting induced by the predictability of the cue enhanced MSI. The role of spatial orienting need and spatial attention bias in the modulation of MSI by exogenous and endogenous orienting was discussed. The present study sheds new light on how spatial attention modulates multisensory integration processes.

Resumo: O rastreamento ocular (eyetracking) tem sido usado como uma tecnologia importante em estudos de atenção visual. Estudos com foco sobre a orientação da atenção, tem se baseado somente nos tempos de reação (latência) para analisar os desempenhos atencionais, interpretando que as diferenças nas latências são resultados de desempenho por atenção encoberta. O presente estudo busca utilizar o dispositivo de rastreamento ocular eyetracker para analisar e garantir os desempenhos atencionais durante uma tarefa de atenção visual encoberta. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo piloto com seis pessoas. Os dados foram calculados com base no reflexo da córnea e na posição da pupila. Por meio das posições e fixações oculares, foi possível caracterizar os desempenhos atencionais como por atenção encoberta ou por direcionamento ocular. , baseando-se unicamente nas latências de resposta para a análise dos dados. Assim, se os olhos estivessem deslocados e focados sobre os alvos e, mesmo assim as latências fossem menores, o desempenho atencional deveria ser atribuído à uma atividade exógena da atenção, que ocorria pelo direcionamento ocular [6], e não por atenção encoberta, como os estudos tem feito. O desempenho por atenção encoberta só poderia ser considerado em situações em que os olhos estivessem fixados no centro da tela [6].Para tentar superar esta lacuna, foi desenvolvido um estudo piloto utilizando a tecnologia de rastreamento ocular Eyetracking para garantir se os desempenhos que envolvem atenção são por atenção encoberta ou por direcionamento ocular [7][8] [9]. Por meio de fixações e posições binoculares os desempenhos dos participantes podem ser classificados como por atenção encoberta ou por direcionamento ocular. Materiais e métodosParticipantes -Foram selecionados seis estudantes de graduação de uma Universidade Federal, com capacidade intelectual normal. Este estudo foi aprovado no Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa por meio da Plataforma Brasil pelo protocolo 62432616.3.0000.5547.Equipamento -Foi utilizado um rastreador ocular RED500 do fabricante alemão SMI (figura 1).
