Abstract
Pylyshyn's argument is very similar to one made in the
1960s to the effect that vision may be influenced by spatial selective
attention being directed to distinctive stimulus features, but not by
mental set for meaning or membership in an ill-defined category.
More recent work points to a special role for spatial attention in
determining the contents of perception.
