注意力偏向于学习奖励的预测因素。注意力自动被任意奖励线索吸引的程度与各种精神病理学有关，包括药物依赖、艾滋病毒风险行为、抑郁症状和注意力缺陷/多动障碍。特别是在成瘾的背景下，对药物线索的注意力偏差与药物渴望和治疗结果有关。考虑到基于价值的注意力在精神病理学中的潜在作用，在治疗干预前后量化这种偏倚的程度以评估注意力分配中的治疗相关变化的能力是可取的。然而，价值驱动的注意捕获的重测信度尚未建立的任意奖励线索。在本研究中，我们表明，一个oculably测量值驱动的注意捕获产生高度稳健的重测信度的行为评估，而反应时间（RT）的措施更常用的注意力偏差文献没有。我们的研究结果提供了方法论支持的能力，以获得一个可靠的测量值驱动的注意力捕获在多个时间点的敏感性，他们强调了RT为基础的措施，应通知使用注意力偏差任务作为评估工具的局限性。
Attention is biased toward learned predictors of reward. The degree to which attention is automatically drawn to arbitrary reward cues has been linked to a variety of psychopathologies, including drug dependence, HIV-risk behaviors, depressive symptoms, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In the context of addiction specifically, attentional biases toward drug cues have been related to drug craving and treatment outcomes. Given the potential role of value-based attention in psychopathology, the ability to quantify the magnitude of such bias before and after a treatment intervention in order to assess treatment-related changes in attention allocation would be desirable. However, the test-retest reliability of value-driven attentional capture by arbitrary reward cues has not been established. In the present study, we show that an oculomotor measure of value-driven attentional capture produces highly robust test-retest reliability for a behavioral assessment, whereas the response time (RT) measure more commonly used in the attentional bias literature does not. Our findings provide methodological support for the ability to obtain a reliable measure of susceptibility to value-driven attentional capture at multiple points in time, and they highlight a limitation of RT-based measures that should inform the use of attentional-bias tasks as an assessment tool.
