abstract = {Attentive and predictive mechanisms crucially shape
perception, but the interplay between these fundamental
processes remains poorly understood. Studies on interactions
between attention and prediction have yielded discrepant
results, potentially because of differences in task demands.
The present study examined whether the perceptual load
(i.e., task difficulty) affects predictive processing in
task-relevant and task-irrelevant hemifields. To this end,
we developed a novel delayed match-to-reference task that
orthogonally manipulated task-relevance, prediction, and
perceptual load. We hypothesized that a low-load condition
should facilitate the processing of prediction violations
(oddball effects) in task-irrelevant space because of the
availability of spare processing resources. We analyzed
accuracy and response time (RT) data from 28 healthy young
participants with separate repeated measures analyses of
variance. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the
load manipulation because a high perceptual load
significantly increased RTs and decreased accuracy. Notably,
the accuracy analysis yielded a significant three-way
interaction between task-relevance, prediction, and load.
Post-hoc tests revealed that load modulated the processing
of prediction violations in the task-irrelevant hemifield.
Importantly, the prediction violation, induced by a
low-frequency and task-irrelevant feature (orientation),
reduced accuracy in the low-load but not in the high-load
condition. This finding suggests that predictive processing
in task-irrelevant space is contingent on the availability
of processing resources, with high perceptual load
inhibiting the processing of unexpected events in
task-irrelevant regions. The present study shows that load
is a crucial factor in the interaction between
task-relevance and prediction.},
