Maintaining attention to a task is essential for accomplishing it. However, attentional state fluctuates from moment to moment, and task-irrelevant information may compete for processing. What are the consequences of attentional fluctuations for what we remember? Do fluctuations in sustained attention vary the spotlight of selective attention, prioritizing task-relevant at the expense of task-irrelevant information? Or, are increases in a sustained attentional state akin to a floodlight, enhancing processing of all information, regardless of task relevance? In an online sample of 215 adults, participants were presented simultaneous streams of images and sounds and instructed to make responses based on only one modality. Afterward, recognition memory for both images and sounds was tested. Across individuals, we found no evidence of a trade-off between memory for task-relevant and task-irrelevant items. Within individuals, successful memory for a task-relevant item predicted successful memory for its task-irrelevant pair. Thus, the spotlight metaphor of attention does not extend to the dynamics of sustained attention. Rather, fluctuations in attention are more akin to a floodlight, affecting the processing of all task information, regardless of relevance.

对一项任务保持注意力是完成它的必要条件。然而,注意状态随时间的变化而波动,与任务无关的信息可能会竞争处理。注意力波动对我们记忆的影响是什么?持续注意力的波动是否会改变选择性注意力的焦点,以牺牲与任务无关的信息为代价,优先考虑与任务相关的信息?或者,持续注意力状态的增加是否类似于泛光灯,增强了对所有信息的处理,而不考虑任务的相关性?在215名成年人的在线样本中,参与者同时看到图像和声音流,并被指示仅根据一种模式做出反应。之后,对图像和声音的识别记忆进行了测试。在个体中,我们没有发现对任务相关和任务无关项目的记忆之间存在权衡的证据。在个体内部,成功记忆与任务相关的项目预示着成功记忆与任务无关的配对。因此,注意力的聚光灯隐喻不能延伸到持续注意力的动态。相反,注意力的波动更类似于泛光灯,影响所有任务信息的处理,无论其相关性如何。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。

Groups frequently encounter situations where someone must "take one for the team"-that is, one member must undertake a task for the benefit of the group. When such tasks recur, how should the burdens be shared? This question becomes particularly complex when the cost of performing the task varies among members, creating a trade-off between efficiency and equity. For instance, always assigning the task to the member who can complete it at the lowest cost is efficient but inequitable. Our research examines how this trade-off is managed, using the framework of social dilemmas, specifically volunteer's dilemmas. Across three main experiments and three supplemental experiments (N = 1,789), we find that when participants imagine these situations, they prefer equitable (but inefficient) burden-sharing (Study 1). However, when they actually face these situations, their actions often deviate from this preference, with some members taking on more burdens than necessary to achieve equity (Study 2). Further investigation reveals that the main obstacle to equity is the difficulty of coordinating who takes on the task and when (Study 3). These findings contribute two key insights to research on fairness. First, they provide initial evidence that individuals tend to prefer equity when sharing indivisible burdens, contrasting with previous studies on distributive justice and social preferences, which have focused on divisible resources (e.g., money). Second, they highlight the critical role of coordination in achieving equitable burden-sharing-an aspect overlooked in prior research, which has focused on the role of coordination in group productivity rather than fairness.

团队经常会遇到某些人必须“为团队承担一项任务”的情况——也就是说,一个成员必须为了团队的利益承担一项任务。当这些任务再次出现时,应该如何分担负担?当执行任务的成本因成员而异,造成效率与公平之间的权衡时,这个问题就变得特别复杂。例如,总是将任务分配给能够以最低成本完成任务的成员是有效的,但不公平的。我们的研究考察了这种权衡是如何管理的,使用社会困境的框架,特别是志愿者的困境。通过三个主要实验和三个补充实验(N = 1,789),我们发现当参与者想象这些情况时,他们更倾向于公平(但效率低下)的负担分担(研究1)。然而,当他们实际面对这些情况时,他们的行为往往偏离这种偏好,一些成员承担了比实现公平所必需的更多的负担(研究2)。进一步的调查显示,公平的主要障碍是难以协调谁承担任务和何时承担任务(研究3)。这些发现为公平研究提供了两个关键见解。首先,他们提供了初步证据,表明个人在分担不可分割的负担时倾向于公平,这与之前关于分配正义和社会偏好的研究形成了对比,这些研究主要关注可分割的资源(如金钱)。其次,他们强调了协调在实现公平负担分担方面的关键作用——这是之前的研究忽视的一个方面,这些研究关注的是协调在群体生产力中的作用,而不是公平。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
