Abstract

Rosenholtz’s paper is a solid addition to a long tradition of throwing out babies with attentional bathwater (Di Lollo, 2012) (Wolfe, 2012) (Hulleman & Olivers, 2017) (Wolfe, 2017). She is correct that the term “attention” has been used in profligate and often ill-defined ways. That said, I argue that any plausible model of visual search must include visual selective attention.
