The notion that certain mental or physical events can capture
attention has been one of the most enduring topics in the study of
attention owing to the importance of understanding how
goal-directed and stimulus-driven processes interact in perception
and cognition. Despite the clear theoretical and applied importance
of attentional capture, a broad survey of this field suggests that
the term "capture" means different things to different people. In
some cases, it refers to covert shifts of spatial attention, in
others involuntary saccades, and in still others general disruption
of processing by irrelevant stimuli. The properties that elicit
"capture" can also range from abruptly onset or moving lights, to
discontinuities in textures, to unexpected tones, to emotionally
valenced words or pictures, to directional signs and symbols.
Attentional capture has been explored in both the spatial and
temporal domains as well as the visual and auditory modalities.
There are also a number of different theoretical perspectives on
the mechanisms underlying "capture" (both functional and
neurophysiological) and the level of cognitive control over
capture. This special issue provides a sampling of the diversity of
approaches, domains, and theoretical perspectives that currently
exist in the study of attentional capture. Together, these
contributions should help evaluate the degree to which attentional
capture represents a unitary construct that reflects fundamental
theoretical principles and mechanisms of the mind.
