Abstract

We agree that while there is a “crisis” in visual attention, the Rosenholtz’ article does not offer bold enough solutions. We argue that the real crisis extends beyond attention, reflecting a broader need for theoretical integration. Addressing this requires abandoning artificial subdivisions and adopting a more ecologically valid, contextually grounded approach to cognition.
