AB  - The reward history of a stimulus can yield strong attentional selection biases. 
      Indeed, attentional capture can be triggered by previously rewarded items which 
      are neither salient nor relevant for the ongoing task, even when selection is 
      clearly counter-productive to actually obtain the reward outcome. Therefore, 
      value-driven attentional capture (VDAC) has been argued to be an automatic 
      attention mechanism. Our study aimed at putting the VDAC automaticity directly to 
      the test. For this purpose, the Load Theory offers a comprehensive framework 
      where distraction is observed under low but not high perceptual load condition. 
      Nevertheless, if VDAC is indeed automatic, distraction by reward-stimuli should 
      be observed on both perceptual load conditions. We used a feature vs. conjunction 
      discrimination of a go/no-go cue to manipulate perceptual load. As expected, our 
      results revealed that perceptual load decreased interference produced by 
      low-reward distractor. However, this effect was not significant for high-reward 
      distractor, giving support to VDAC automaticity. We discussed our results in 
      light of the Load Theory literature and we strongly encourage to consider reward 
      history along with perceptual load in determining attentional capture.
