Cueresponsiveness is a concept used to describe the degree to which a person, group, or system responds to environmental cues or stimuli. It encompasses how attention is drawn to a cue, how quickly and strongly a response is enacted, and how the cue modulates neural, physiological, or computational activity. The concept is used across psychology, neuroscience, behavioral science, and human–computer interaction to analyze how cues influence perception, motivation, and action.
Measurements include behavioral tasks such as cue-reactivity or cue-triggered response tasks, reaction time and accuracy, and
Factors shaping cueresponsiveness include individual differences in attention, reward sensitivity, impulsivity, prior learning, and context. It
Applications include studying addiction and relapse, habit formation, learning and education, and the design of adaptive
