abstract = {Allocation of attentional resources rests on predictions
about the likelihood of events. While this effect has been
extensively studied in the spatial attention domain where
the location of a target stimulus is pre-cued, less is known
about the cueing of stimulus features such as the color of a
behaviorally relevant target. Moreover, there is
disagreement about which types of color cues are effective
for biasing attention. Here we investigated the effects of
probabilistic context (percentage of cue validity, $\%CV)$
for different levels of cue abstraction to elucidate how
feature-based search information is processed and used to
direct attention. The color of a target was cued by
presenting the perceptual color, the color word, or
two-letter abbreviations. $\%CV,$ i.e., the probability that
the cue indicated the color correctly, changed unpredictably
between 50, 70, and 90 $\%.$ Response times (RTs) for valid
and invalid trials in each $\%CV$ condition were recorded in
60 datasets and analyzed with analyses of variance. The
results showed that all cues were associated with comparable
RT costs after invalid cueing. The modulation of RT costs by
probabilities, however, depended upon level of cue
abstraction and time on task: While a strong, immediate
impact of $\%CV$ was found for two-letter cueing, the effect
was solely observed in the second half of the experiment for
perceptual and word cues. These results demonstrate that
probabilistic feature-based information is processed
differently for different levels of cue abstraction.
Moreover, the modulatory effect of the environmental
statistics differentially depends on the time on task for
different feature cues},
