注意力是心理模拟不可或缺的一部分。想象一个事件将如何，曾经如何，或者可能如何，需要注意事件及其替代品。单纯的注意力是如何影响人们对事件的感知和体验的？注意力如何影响人们的情绪、判断和决定？这些注意力的影响能解释心理模拟的效果吗？我们通过回顾科学文献来考虑这些问题，这些科学文献研究了注意力如何影响体验，情绪和行为。注意力通过使对象更加生动、突出和清晰来增强感知体验。注意力也减少了来自无人注意的刺激的干扰，并增加了对注意对象的记忆可及性。部分由于这些影响，注意力增加了被关注对象的情绪强度。关注目标、预算类别和属性也会增加他们在判断和决策中的优先级和权重。考虑到注意力的这些普遍和强大的影响，我们认为注意力有助于心理模拟对情绪强化，优先级，对未来的考虑和风险感知的影响。区分注意和心理模拟是未来工作的重要挑战。
Attention is integral to mental simulation. Imagining how an event will be, was, or could have been requires attention to the event and its alternatives. How does mere attention influence people’s perception and experience of events? How does attention influence people’s emotions, judgments, and decisions? And do these attentional influences explain the effects of mental simulation? We consider these questions by reviewing the scientific literature that examines how attention influences experience, emotion, and behavior. Attention enhances perceptual experience by making objects more vivid, salient, and clear. Attention also reduces interference from unattended stimuli and increases memory accessibility of attended objects. Partly because of these effects, attention increases emotional intensity of attended objects. Attending to goals, budget categories, and attributes also increases their prioritization and weight in judgment and decision making. Given these pervasive and robust effects of attention, we suggest that attention contributes to the effects of mental simulation on emotional intensification, prioritization, consideration of the future, and risk perception. Differentiating attention and mental simulation is an important challenge for future work.
