注意控制是否影响节律时间期待?

Does attention control affect rhythmic temporal expectation?

节律时间期待指人们利用节律时间信息预测下一个刺激何时出现的能力。然而,目前对于节律时间期待在多大程度上独立于注意控制过程还存在争议。对于该问题的探讨,首先介绍了节律时间期待的相关理论,包括动态注意理论和选择振荡理论,并对这两种理论进行了比较分析。然后重点回顾了注意控制与节律时间期待相关的研究,以往研究主要集中在听觉通道,且节律刺激以较快的速度呈现。将来的研究可以关注其他感觉通道和不同时间尺度下,注意控制是否影响节律时间期待。

Rhythmic temporal expectation（RTE） is defined as the ability to predict the point in time at which a sensory event will occur in rhythmic context. However, it remains currently unclear whether RTE is independent of attention control. In the present review, we firstly introduced and compared RTE related theories including dynamic attending theory and selective oscillation hypothesis. Then we reviewed studies on the relationship between attention control and RTE as well as their limitation. Finally, we proposed potential directions for the future research to investigate the effects of attention control on RTE.
