is largely task-independent.
We also provide novel evidence for task preparation and task inertia in task switching.
Together, these findings highlight the value of examining phenomena from different literatures within a single paradigm.

(1) The attentional bias toward previous target locations is better explained by an episodic retrieval mechanism than by an activation-boost account, challenging the widespread view of this bias
and (2) while the retrieval mechanism influencing attentional guidance is

🚨 Excited to share our new paper in JEP: General w/ Tamar Alkalai & Dominique Lamy! 🚨
We examined sequential effects from the visual search, task-switching, and action-control literatures within a single paradigm.
We report two key findings: 🧵 1/4

Some irrelevant features of a previous target guide attention during search, but others don't.
Are they not encoded, or do they not guide attention?
In our new paper (with Nitzan Micher & Dominique Lamy), we show that features that didn't guide attention were...
