Attentional cueing and orienting tasks¶
A cue precedes a target and predicts its location or identity with some validity; the benefit of valid over invalid cues is the measure.
This family contains 3 tasks.
Attention Network¶
Identify the direction of a central arrow flanked by congruent or incongruent arrows, preceded by various cue types; RT differences across cue and flanker conditions index three independent attention networks (alerting, orienting, executive). Engages 6 processes.
Dot-Probe¶
A pair of cues (often threat/neutral) is followed by a probe at one cue location; RT difference by cue type indexes attentional bias. Engages 5 processes.
Posner Spatial Cueing¶
A central or peripheral cue indicates the likely target location; RT differences between valid, neutral, and invalid cues index covert spatial orienting. Engages 5 processes.
