Theoretical framework proposes visual attention inherently links vision and action, suggesting a paradigm shift in understanding attention's role.
While agreeing with Rosenholtz that the broad concept of visual attention conflates phenomena with explanatory mechanisms, leading to a crisis that demands a paradigm shift, we argue that this issue partially arises from viewing attention within a predominantly perception-focused framework. We propose reframing visual attention as part of an integrated sensorimotor system, emphasizing its role in linking vision and action.
