Abstract
The premotor theory of attention argues that covert, visuo-spatial attention depends on motor programs. My talk explores associations and dissociations between covert attention and oculomotor control to argue that premotor theory is true only for reflexive โexogenousโ shifts of attention.
Series This talk is part of the Craik Club series.
