“…In Experiment 1, exogenous cues were used that are considered to cause automatic attention shifts (Klein, 2004;Marzouki et al, 2007). However, it is often argued that exogenous cues may also induce endogenous control to some extent when they are informative (Doallo et al, 2004;Müller & Rabbitt, 1989;Wright & Richard, 2000). The aim of Experiment 4 was to test whether a texture advantage is also observed without endogenous control being involved.…”

“…However, since the magnitude of the cueing effect increases also with increasing informativeness of a peripheral cue, it has been argued that an endogenous component may be involved in exogenous cueing as well (Doallo et al, 2004;Müller & Rabbitt, 1989;Wright & Richard, 2000).…”

“…Horizontal and vertical elements were arranged next to each other in such a way that each half consisted of homogeneous elements, resulting in two textures per display. To trigger attention shifts, we employed both exogenous and endogenous cues that are known to enhance processing of stimuli subsequently presented at the cued location for some time (Doallo et al, 2004). We examined whether cues caused enhanced processing at cued locations only or whether the cueing effect would spread to the entire texture to which the cued location belonged.…”

“…When the cue was informative, a, texture advantage was found for an ISI of 50 ms, whereas uninformative cues caused a texture advantage for 50 and 100 ms. While it was often argued that exogenous cues can also comprise an endogenous component when being informative (Doallo et al, 2004;Müller & Rabbitt, 1989;Wright & Richard, 2000), Experiment 4 could therefore rule out the possibility that an endogenous component is necessary to cause a texture advantage; exogenous control is sufficient. Interestingly, overall performance was worse when cues were informative than when they were uninformative.…”

The spatial cueing paradigm (Posner Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology 32:3-25, 1980) has often been used to investigate the time course of the deployment of visual attention in space. In a series of eight experiments we investigated whether spatial cues would not only enhance processing of stimuli presented at cued locations, but also enhance processing of the entire texture in which the stimuli were presented. Results showed highest accuracy for responses to stimuli presented at cued locations, a replication of the traditional cueing effect (Posner 1980). Additionally, stimuli presented at uncued locations were responded to with higher accuracy when they were presented inside the same texture as the cued location, as compared with stimuli presented outside the texture with the cued location. To investigate this texture advantage for both automatic and voluntary attention deployment, exogenous and endogenous cues were used. The texture advantage was observed for short interstimulus intervals (ISIs) of 50 and 100 ms for exogenous cues and for a longer ISI of 200 ms for endogenous cues. These findings indicate that the arrangement of task-irrelevant visual stimuli also can have a large impact on the cueing effect. This suggests that visual spatial attention spreads texture-wise across the visual field. Control experiments revealed that the homogeneity within texture elements contributes most to the effect but that the texture advantage is a function of both orientation contrast at the texture border and homogeneity within texture elements.

“…Statistical analyses were performed on the mean voltages at various intervals of interest in the ERP waveform similar to those identified previously (van Hooff et al, 2008;Pérez-Edgar and Fox, 2003): P1, N1, and P3. The minimal 20 segments per condition were considered necessary for inclusion into the Grand Average (van Hooff et al, 2008;Doalloa et al, 2004), 17 participants of each group satisfied this threshold.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate distracter inhibition ability and facilitation for emotional faces in depression using a negative affective priming (NAP) task combined with event-related potentials (ERP). Participants were instructed to evaluate the valence of the target, which had been primed or inhibited on a preceding trial. The reaction times and the ERP amplitudes were recorded during the task. In a first behavioral experiment, control participants (NC), participants who were currently remitted (RMD), and participants diagnosed with a current major depressive disorder (MDD), performed a modified the NAP task.The main finding was that compared with NC groups, MDD participants had enhanced positive priming and less inhibition of sad faces. RMD individuals were characterized by general inhibitory impairments for all emotional faces and a facilitation for sad faces compared with NC individuals. In a second experiment combing the modified NAP task with ERP, the MDD participants had a larger P1 and P3 amplitude for sad faces in the positive priming condition compared with the other groups, and smaller P3 amplitude for sad faces in negative priming condition compared with other faces. Interestingly, RMD participants showed a distinct pattern of results compared with NC and MDD participants. They had larger N1 amplitude for happy faces and larger P1 and P3 amplitude for sad faces in the positive priming condition relative to the other conditions, while they had smaller P3 amplitude for both happy and sad faces in the negative priming condition. Across two experiments, it can be concluded that MDD participants have deficient distracter inhibition and excessive facilitation for negative stimuli. The RMD participants showed a mixed pattern of deficient distracter inhibition and excessive facilitation for both positive and negative stimuli, the results were largely consistent with our previous study.This deficiency has a high explanatory value for information-processing bias and the neuropsychological -3 -impairments observed in depression.

ERP correlates of anticipatory attention: spatial and non-spatial specificity and relation to subsequent selective attention

et al. 2008

Brain-based models of visual attention hypothesize that attention-related benefits afforded to imperative stimuli occur via enhancement of neural activity associated with relevant spatial and non-spatial features. When relevant information is available in advance of a stimulus, anticipatory deployment processes are likely to facilitate allocation of attention to stimulus properties prior to its arrival. The current study recorded EEG from humans during a centrally-cued covert attention task. Cues indicated relevance of left or right visual field locations for an upcoming motion or orientation discrimination. During a 1 s delay between cue and S2, multiple attention-related events occurred at frontal, parietal and occipital electrode sites. Differences in anticipatory activity associated with the non-spatial task properties were found late in the delay, while spatially-specific modulation of activity occurred during both early and late periods and continued during S2 processing. The magnitude of anticipatory activity preceding the S2 at frontal scalp sites (and not occipital) was predictive of the magnitude of subsequent selective attention effects on the S2 event-related potentials observed at occipital electrodes. Results support the existence of multiple anticipatory attention-related processes, some with differing specificity for spatial and non-spatial task properties, and the hypothesis that levels of activity in anterior areas are important for effective control of subsequent S2 selective attention.
