AB  - Feature-reward association elicits value-driven attentional capture (VDAC) 
      regardless of the task relevance of associated features. What are the necessary 
      conditions for feature-reward associations in VDAC? Recent studies claim that 
      VDAC is based on Pavlovian conditioning. In this study, we manipulated the 
      temporal relationships among feature, response, and reward in reward learning to 
      elucidate the necessary components of VDAC. We presented reward-associated 
      features in a variety of locations in a flanker task to form a color-reward 
      association (training phase) and then tested VDAC in a subsequent visual search 
      task (test phase). In Experiment 1, we showed reward-associated features in a 
      task display requiring response selection and observed VDAC, consistent with most 
      previous studies. In Experiment 2, features presented at a fixation display 
      before a task display also induced VDAC. Moreover, in Experiment 3, we reduced 
      the time interval between features and rewards so that features appeared after a 
      task display and we obtained marginally significant VDAC. However, no VDAC was 
      observed when features and rewards were simultaneously presented in a feedback 
      display in Experiments 4 and 5, suggesting that a direct association between 
      feature and reward is not sufficient for VDAC. These results are in favor of the 
      idea that response selection does not mediate feature-reward association in VDAC. 
      Moreover, the evidence suggests that the time interval of feature and reward is 
      flexible with some restriction in the learning of feature-reward association. The 
      present study supports the hypothesis that theories of Pavlovian conditioning can 
      account for feature-reward association in VDAC.
