  - Visual attention selects task-relevant elements from the visual environment, linking
    perception and action. Because of this intermediary role, it provides a basis
    for comparing performance in different tasks. In this work, we study whether model-based
    estimates of visual attention resources – concretely, processing speed derived
    from a formal theory of visual attention – are comparable across tasks. To our
    best knowledge, such a comparison on the process level has not been conducted
    yet. Thirty participants completed two tasks in a within-subject design. For each
    task, attention resources are estimated using the same theoretical framework,
    allowing a direct task-to-task comparison. The results show that model-based estimates
    of attentional processing speed differ between tasks. At the same time, the estimates
    show different patterns of variability, which suggests that systematic adaptations
    of one or both models could, in principle, align the parameters across tasks.
    These findings indicate that current model estimates are task-dependent, but not
    necessarily incompatible. Identifying adaptation points would move the study of
    attention beyond task-specific phenomenology toward a more general characterization
    of attentional mechanisms. Although this paper does not provide a solution to
    this problem, it formulates the challenge and outlines concrete directions for
    future research.@eng
