    "title": "Rapid Learning in Early Attention Processing: Bayesian Estimation of Trial-by-Trial Updating",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "All agents must constantly learn from dynamic environments\nto optimize their behaviors. For instance, it is necessary in new\nenvironments to learn how to distribute attention – i.e., which\nstimuli are relevant, and thus should be selected for greater\nprocessing, and which are irrelevant, and should be suppressed.\nDespite this, many experiments implicitly assume that attentional\ncontrol is a static process (by averaging performance over large\nblocks of trials). By developing and utilizing new statistical tools,\nhere we demonstrate that the effect of flanking items on response\ntimes to a central item (often utilized as an index of attentional\ncontrol) is systematically and continuously influenced through\ntime by the statistics of the flanking items. We discuss the\nimplications of this finding from the perspective of examining\nindividual differences – where traditional data analysis\napproaches may confound the rate at which attentional filtering\nchanges through time with the asymptotic ability to filter.",
