Abstract

During visual search, representations in working memory (WM) can guide the deployment of attention toward memory-matching visual input. Although previous studies have demonstrated that multisensory interactions facilitate WM and visual search, it remains unclear whether multisensory interaction influences attentional capture by WM. To address this issue, the present study adopted a dual-task paradigm, pairing a visual search task with a WM task, in which the memory modality was manipulated to be either visual or audiovisual. The results revealed that memory-driven attentional capture was observed under the visual and the audiovisual condition. Additionally, the capture effects and response time (RT) costs under the audiovisual condition were weaker than those under the visual condition, even on the trials with the earliest RTs. Furthermore, RT benefits under the audiovisual condition were comparable with those under the visual condition. These findings suggest that multisensory interactions can enhance cognitive control, leading to robust strategic effects and improved search performance. In this process, cognitive control tends to suppress the attentional capture by WM-matching distractors rather than enhance the attentional capture by WM-matching targets. The present study offers new insights into the influence of multisensory interactions on attentional capture by WM.

多感官工作记忆捕捉注意力
在视觉搜索过程中,工作记忆(WM)中的表征可以引导注意力向与记忆匹配的视觉输入调配。尽管之前的研究已经证明多感官交互作用有助于工作记忆和视觉搜索,但多感官交互作用是否会影响工作记忆对注意力的捕捉仍不清楚。为了解决这个问题,本研究采用了双任务范式,将视觉搜索任务与 WM 任务配对,其中记忆模式被操纵为视觉或视听模式。结果表明,在视觉和视听条件下都观察到了记忆驱动的注意捕获。此外,视听条件下的捕捉效应和反应时间(RT)成本要弱于视觉条件下的捕捉效应和反应时间(RT)成本,即使在反应时间(RT)最早的试验中也是如此。此外,视听条件下的反应时间收益与视觉条件下的收益相当。这些研究结果表明,多感官互动可以增强认知控制,从而产生强大的策略效应并提高搜索表现。在这一过程中,认知控制倾向于抑制 WM 匹配分心物的注意捕捉,而不是增强 WM 匹配目标的注意捕捉。本研究就多感官相互作用对 WM 注意捕捉的影响提供了新的见解。

期刊介绍: The journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics is an official journal of the Psychonomic Society. It spans all areas of research in sensory processes, perception, attention, and psychophysics. Most articles published are reports of experimental work; the journal also presents theoretical, integrative, and evaluative reviews. Commentary on issues of importance to researchers appears in a special section of the journal. Founded in 1966 as Perception & Psychophysics, the journal assumed its present name in 2009.
