Abstract: The paper formulates an alternative view about the core function of attention claiming that attention is not selection but the deployment of extra processing capacity. This way of thinking about attention has greater explanatory power, since it proposes a common implementation both for selection and modulatory effects, and it offers a unificatory perspective on the workings of perception and cognition.
