In this article, we challenge the usefulness of “attention” as a unitary construct and/or neural
system. We point out that the concept has too many meanings to justify a single term, and …

This article reviews the past 25years of research on eye movements (1986–2011).
Emphasis is on three oculomotor behaviors: gaze control, smooth pursuit and saccades, and …

A growing body of research suggests that comprehending verbal descriptions of actions
relies on an internal simulation of the described action. To assess this motor resonance …

The posterior parietal cortex and frontal cortical areas to which it connects are responsible
for sensorimotor transformations. This review covers new research on four components of …

Human vision is stable and continuous in spite of the incessant interruptions produced by
saccadic eye movements. These rapid eye movements serve vision by directing the high …

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and
Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it …

Spatial attention and eye-movements are tightly coupled, but the precise nature of this
coupling is controversial. The influential but controversial Premotor theory of attention makes …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of rhesus monkeys has been found to encode the
behavioral meaning of categories of sensory stimuli. When animals are instructed with …

It is well established that during the preparation and execution of goal-directed movements,
perceptual processing is biased towards the goal. Most of the previous work on the relation …

The dynamics of the allocation of attention during the preparation of saccadic eye
movements was studied in a dual task paradigm. As the primary task, participants had to …
