AB  - Visual features previously associated with reward can capture attention even when 
      task-irrelevant, a phenomenon known as value-driven attention capture (VDAC). 
      VDAC persists without reinforcement, unlike other forms of learning, where 
      removing reinforcement typically leads to extinction. In five experiments, 
      factors common to many studies were manipulated to examine their impact on VDAC 
      and its extinction. All experiments included learning and test phases. During 
      learning, participants completed a visual search task during which one of two 
      target colors was associated with a reward, and the other with no reward. During 
      test, 1 week later, participants completed another visual search task in which 
      the reward association was not reinforced. When a rewarded feature remained 
      task-relevant (Experiment 1), VDAC was observed. When the rewarded feature was 
      made task-irrelevant (Experiments 2-5) there was no evidence of a VDAC effect, 
      except when the target feature was physically salient and there was a reduction 
      in the frequency of exposure to the reward-associated feature (Experiment 5). We 
      failed to find evidence of VDAC in Experiments 2-4, suggesting that VDAC may 
      depend on the demands of the task resulting in vulnerability to VDAC. When VDAC 
      was observed, extinction was also observed. This indicates that VDAC is subject 
      to extinction as would be expected from an effect driven by reinforcement 
      learning.
