The Attention Habit II: How selection history shapes the strategic control of attention.
Review in Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The allocation of attention is now widely understood to reflect the joint influence of goal-directed, stimulus-driven, and selection history-driven mechanisms of control. The influence of selection history is often discussed in the context of the involuntary control of attention, competing with goal-directed influences. Here, we argue that selection history also influences voluntary, goal-directed mechanisms of control, shaping the manner in which intentional prioritization of stimuli occurs. In this respect, the habitual guidance of attention is not limited to mechanisms of priority assignment that operate without respect to observers' goals and intentions; rather, the goal-directed control of attention itself is sensitive to habit-like mechanisms of priority assignment. This has implications for how we characterize mechanisms of attentional control, blurring the distinction between goal-directed and selection history-driven influences and raising important questions concerning the degree to which the intentional control of attention is biased by prior learning.
