Visuomotor Origins of Covert Spatial Attention
Covert spatial attention produces biases in perceptual performance and neural processing of behaviorally relevant stimuli in the absence of overt orienting movements. The neural mechanism that gives rise to these effects is poorly understood. This paper surveys past evidence of a relationship between oculomotor control and visual spatial attention and more recent evidence of a causal link betwe...

and oculomotor control mechanisms during scanning eye movements is of particular importance to visual neurobiologists. Just as our eyes are unable to simultaneously fixate all the elements contained within a scene, our perception Princeton, New Jersey 08544 2 Systems Neurobiology Laboratory of those elements is likewise limited. The tremendous volume of information impinging on the retina impos...
متن کاملSites of overt and covert attention define simultaneous spatial reference centers for visuomotor response
The site of overt attention (fixation point) defines a spatial reference center that affects visuomotor response as indicated by the stimulus-response-compatibility (SRC) effect: When subjects press, e.g., a left key to report stimuli, their reaction time is shorter when stimuli appear to the left than to the right of the fixation. Covert attention to a peripheral site appears to define a simil...
متن کاملCovert attention effects on spatial resolution.
First, we review the characteristics of endogenous (sustained) and exogenous (transient) spatial covert attention. Then we examine the effects of these two types of attention on spatial resolution in a variety of tasks, such as acuity, visual search, and texture segmentation. Both types of covert attention enhance resolution; directing attention to a given location allows us to better resolve t...
متن کاملMasked fearful faces modulate the orienting of covert spatial attention.
Dot probe studies indicate that masked fearful faces modulate spatial attention. However, without a baseline to compare congruent and incongruent reaction times, it is unclear which aspect(s) of attention (orienting or disengagement) is affected. Additionally, backward masking studies commonly use a neutral face as the mask stimulus. This method results in greater perceptual inconsistencies for...
