Document Summary
Explain premotor theory of attention observation we unable to move our eyes w/o shifting our attention but we can shift our attention w/o moving our eyes. Cuz (not in book) shift of attention are oculmotor program, u shift your attention when ur oculmotor program is ready to be executed, it takes some time to process the activity. At that point when oculmotor program is ready to be executed so eye can be moved to target of interest that is the point when u move your eye. So eye moves after shift of attention but that depends on if itz overt or covert attention, if it is overt then we do shift eye attention. Possible that itz covert of attention if we don"t shift our eye. I tz possible cuz the oculmotor program might not be ready to executed so itz not passed on to muscle of eyes, so activity might not enter brain so no shift eye before attention.
