      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},
