In order to study the temporal dynamics of attentional selection processes, I propose to apply event history analysis, the standard distributional method for time-to-event data including behavioral response times.The goals is to provide a fresh, longitudinal view on the time-dispersed behavior of participants in different standard attentional paradigms (endogenous cueing, exogenous cueing, attentional capture, negative priming) and to develop a time-based taxonomy of attentional gating and inhibition processes based on uniform empirical criteria.
