Attention Allocation During Movement Preparation

Abstract

Identification performance was measured for letters which were briefly presented at different spatial locations and time delays relative to the beginning of manual movement preparation. Identification performance depended on the complexity of the upcoming movement and decreased prior to movement onset. Further findings of similar identification performance with different spatial relations between probe location and manual movement direction cast doubt on the generality of a premotor theory of attention.
