Attention is more than prediction precision [Commentary on target article]

Bowman, Howard, Filetti, Marco, Wyble, Brad, Olivers, Christian (2013) Attention is more than prediction precision [Commentary on target article]. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 36 (3). pp. 206-208. ISSN 0140-525X. (doi:10.1017/S0140525X12002324) (KAR id:33892)

Abstract

A cornerstone of the target article is that, in a predictive coding framework, attention can be modelled by weighting prediction error with a measure of precision. We argue that this is not a complete explanation, especially in the light of ERP (event-related potentials) data showing large evoked responses for frequently presented target stimuli, which thus are predicted.
