最近的研究表明，观察者可以通过学习来防止身体显著刺激引起的注意捕获。一个关键问题是观察者如何学会避免被捕获。特别是在他们没有收到关于注意力表现的直接反馈的情况下。一种可能性是，当捕获发生时，个体具有一定程度的内省意识。一旦捕捉被检测到，参与者然后调整性能策略，以避免随后的注意力捕捉。然而，目前还不清楚，当注意力捕获发生时，观察者是否有任何内省意识。在目前的研究中，参与者试图找到一个目标形状，忽略一个突出的干扰。在一半的试验中，参与者被要求对他们的第一眼动是否被误导到该试验中的单个干扰物进行分类。结果表明，参与者显然有一定程度的注意力捕获的内省意识：眼动捕获效果在“捕获”报告试验比“无捕获”报告试验大得多。有趣的是，没有证据表明意识到眼球捕获会阻止随后的显著项目捕获。未来的研究需要明确地确定元认知意识是否可以作为一种训练工具，以防止捕获。
Recent research has demonstrated that observers can learn to prevent attentional capture by physically salient stimuli. One critical question is how observers learn to avoid capture. particularly in situations where they receive no direct feedback about attentional performance. One possibility is that individuals have some level of introspective awareness of capture when it occurs. Once capture is detected, participants then adjust performance strategies to avoid subsequent attentional capture. It is currently unclear, however, if observers have any introspective awareness of attentional capture when it occurs. In the current study, participants attempted to locate a target shape and ignore a salient distractor. On half of trials, participants were then asked to classify whether their first eye movement was misdirected to the singleton distractor on that trial. The results demonstrated that participants clearly had some level of introspective awareness of attentional capture: Oculomotor capture effects were much larger on "capture" report trials than on "no capture" report trials. Interestingly, there was no evidence that awareness of oculomotor capture prevented subsequent capture by salient items. Future research is needed to definitively determine whether metacognitive awareness can be used as a training tool to prevent capture.
