AB  - Despite being physically nonsalient and task-irrelevant, objects rendered in a 
      color that once signaled monetary reward reflexively capture attention during 
      visual search, a phenomenon known as value-driven attentional capture (VDAC). 
      However, it remains a subject of empirical controversy whether learned reward 
      associations are necessary to driving subsequent attentional capture: VDAC-like 
      effects have been observed when accuracy-based feedback alone was used during the 
      VDAC training phase, resulting in attentional capture by objects that were never 
      associated with monetary reward; perplexingly, the presence of these VDAC-like 
      effects in the literature conflicts with those of a number of control studies in 
      which no such capture has been observed, leaving the issue currently unresolved. 
      In this Registered Report, we present new empirical evidence of attentional 
      capture by unrewarded former targets following limited accuracy-based training. 
      We proposed to replicate these results in an independent sample and to test an 
      empirically derived hypothesis concerning a methodological difference between the 
      studies that have shown VDAC-like effects with accuracy-based feedback and those 
      that have not. In short, we found no evidence that this methodological difference 
      accounts for the inconsistencies in the literature, but our replication efforts 
      were overwhelmingly successful, thus reinvigorating debate about the role that 
      selection history may play in value-driven attentional capture.
