Résumé
Previous studies have shown that abrupt onsets randomly appearing at different locations can be ignored with practice, a result that was interpreted as an instance of habituation. Here we addressed whether habituation of capture can be spatially selective and determined by the rate of onset occurrence at different locations, and whether habituation is achieved via spatial suppression applied at the distractor location. In agreement with the habituation hypothesis, we found that capture attenuation was larger where the onset distractor occurred more frequently, similarly to what has been documented for feature-singleton distractors (the "distractor-location effect"), and that onset interference decreased across trials at both the high- and low-probability distractor locations. By contrast, evidence was inconclusive as to whether distractor filtering was also accompanied by a larger impairment in target processing when it appeared at the more likely distractor location (the "target-location effect"), as instead previously reported for feature-singleton distractors. Finally, here we discuss how and to what extent distractor rejection based on statistical learning and habituation of capture are different, and conclude that the two notions are intimately related, as the Sokolov model of habituation operates by comparing the upcoming sensory input with expectation based on the statistics of previous stimulation.
