Abstract

ABSTRACT It is assumed that stimuli and their responses are integrated into an event file and that re-encounter with one or more integrated features leads to the retrieval of the event file. The Binding and Retrieval in Action Control framework (Frings et al., 2020) suggests that these integration and retrieval processes are independent and can be separately modulated by top-down and bottom-up factors. One suggested bottom-up factor is salience. Recent studies found evidence for the impact of salience on target-integration processes. In the present study, we merged two established paradigms, the additional singleton paradigm from visual search and the distractor-response binding paradigm, to investigate salient effects on distractors in action control. In two experiments, we observed standard distractor-response binding effects that, however, were not modulated by salience. We discuss these findings against recent theoriing from visual search arguing that salience becomes most effective with relevant features.
