Funded Activity Summary
Show me the money: Investigating how reward shapes attention and behaviour. This project aims to investigate how attention is automatically drawn towards stimuli that signal rewarding outcomes. Sometimes, the attention afforded to these reward cues (how we’ve learned to respond) is in direct conflict with our intentions (how we would like to behave). This project expects to generate new knowledge regarding how and when attentional distraction by reward is more automatic in nature as opposed to being inhibited by cognitive control processes. Expected outcomes of this project include better understanding of the learning processes that shape attentional responses, the neural correlates of the conflict that can arise and the link to behavioural outcomes (e.g., food choices).Funded Activity Details
