Highlights
• We present an up-to-date critical analysis of the literature concerning the effects of reward on visual selective attention. • We propose a conceptualisation of reward-dependent effects on attention. • We propose that these effects reflect a variety of underlying mechanisms, including strategic and automatic ones. • We provide a key contribution to the ongoing and future discussion and theoretical developments in this field of research.
