In this paper, we investigate the functional differencesbetween word cues and arrow cues in a spatial cuingtask and provide a novel computational model fit to theempirical data that provides (1) a conceptually parsi-monious explanation of the observed differences and (2)evidence for the existence of two forms of symbolic at-tentional control. We briefly discuss the implications ofthe model for theories of spatial reference frames andattentional control.
