“…Consistent with this assumption, in patients with unilateral spatial neglect, it is plausible that involuntary components mostly contribute to the characteristic disengage deficit for contralesional targets (Bonato, Priftis, Marenzi & Zorzi, 2009;Olk, Hildebrandt, & Kingstone, 2010). However, as already outlined here above, past studies primarily questioned the use of asymmetric symbolic, directional cues as arrows to induce endogenous spatial orienting (Lambert, Roser, Wells, & Heffer, 2006) without studying the role of cue predictivity. Nevertheless, indirect evidence suggests that predictivity might interact with expectations.…”

“…The strength of the cueing effect on RTs therefore appears to be strongly modulated by the learning of cue/colortarget/location contingencies. In this specific case contingencies were arbitrary and therefore not apriori biased as opposed, for instance, to the use of asymmetrical cues like arrow cues (Lambert et al, 2006). Moreover, awareness of these contingencies (as indicated by post-experiment ratings) did not modulate the strength of the spatial orienting effect.…”

“…Frischen et al (2007) suggest that, given the recent findings with gaze and arrows, it may no longer be useful to divide spatial cueing into reflexive and voluntary categories (see also Lambert, Roser, Wells, & Heffer, 2006); rather, one might think in terms of a continuum of automaticity in spatial cueing tasks.…”

Observers tend to respond more quickly to peripheral stimuli that are being gazed at by a centrally presented face, than to stimuli that are not being gazed at. While this gaze-cueing effect was initially seen as reflexive, there have also been some indications that top-down control processes may be involved. Therefore, the present investigation employed a dual-task paradigm to attempt to disrupt the putative control processes involved in gaze-cueing. Two experiments examined the impact of working memory load on gaze-cueing. In Experiment 1, participants were required to hold a set of digits in working memory during each gaze trial. In Experiment 2, the gaze task was combined with an auditory task that required the manipulation and maintenance of visuo-spatial information. Gaze-cueing effects were observed, but they were not modulated by dual-task load in either experiment. These results are consistent with traditional accounts of gaze-cueing as a highly reflexive process.2 Acknowledgements

“…It may be that very early cueing effects (i.e., 50 and 100 ms of SOA) are evoked only when the cue is asymmetric allowing spatial correspondence between central cue and target location to be automatically paired. Recent studies showed that spatial correspondence may help to develop fast orienting effects (Lambert & Duddy, 2002;Lambert, Roser, Wells, & Heffer, 2006) but further investigations are necessary to evaluate the link between learning mechanisms and cues asymmetry and their role in the attentional effects induced by eyes and arrow cues.…”

Orienting of attention with eye and arrow cues and the effect of overtraining

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oIn contrast to the classical distinction between a controlled orienting of attention induced by central cues and an automatic capture induced by peripheral cues, recent studies suggest that central cues, such as eyes and arrows, may trigger a reflexive-like attentional shift. Yet, it is not clear if the attention shifts induced by these two cues are similar or if they differ in some important aspect. To answer this question, in Experiment 1 we directly compared eye and arrow cues in a counter-predictive paradigm while in Experiment 2 we compared the above cues with a different symbolic cue. Finally, in Experiment 3 we tested the role of over-learned associations in cueing effects. The results provide evidence that eyes and arrows induce identical behavioural effects. Moreover, they show that over-learned associations between spatially neutral symbols and the cued location play an important role in yielding early attentional effects.
