Abstract
Vision is used by organisms to obtain information about the local spatial layout. Selection is of its essence: relevant objects and locations are selected for further processing and irrelevant ones are ignored. The control of attention is usually assumed to be of two types: top-down or goal-directed control on the one hand, and bottom-up or stimulus-driven control on the other. In most cases, some combination of these two influences determines how attention is deployed. Here I review the recent behavioral literature concerned with stimulus-driven and goal-directed visual attention.
