Abstract

Attention control has been proposed as an ability construct that explains individual differences in fluid intelligence. Evaluating this hypothesis is complicated by a lack of clarity in the definition of attention control. Here, I propose a definition of attention control, based on experimental research and computational models of what guides attention, and how cognitive processes are controlled. Attention is the selection of mental representations for prioritized processing, and the ability to control attention is the ability to prioritize those representations that are relevant for the person's current goal, thereby enabling them to think and act in accordance with their intentions. This definition can be used to identify appropriate and less appropriate ways to measure individual differences in attention control. An analysis of various approaches to measurement reveals that the current practice of measuring attention control leaves room for improvement. Aligning our psychometric measurements with a clear, theoretically grounded concept of attention control can lead to more valid measures of that construct.

注意力控制的意义
有人提出,注意力控制是一种能力结构,可以解释流体智力的个体差异。由于注意力控制的定义不够清晰,评估这一假设变得复杂起来。在此,我根据实验研究和计算模型,提出了注意力控制的定义,即什么会引导注意力,以及认知过程是如何被控制的。注意是选择优先处理的心理表征,而控制注意的能力是优先处理与人当前目标相关的表征的能力,从而使人能够按照自己的意图思考和行动。这一定义可用于确定衡量注意力控制个体差异的合适和不太合适的方法。对各种测量方法的分析表明,目前的注意力控制测量方法还有改进的余地。将我们的心理测量与一个明确的、有理论基础的注意控制概念相统一,可以使我们对该结构的测量更加有效。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
