It is the major theme of this lecture that this parietal lobe mechanism also receives signals concerning the internal state of the organism in terms of needs and interests, and from time to time generates commands for action, for selective and directed visual attention into the immediate behavioural surround, for the visual grasping of objects, and for skilled coordinated actions of hand and eye.

206 Citations1979Zenon W. Pylyshyn
Results are interpreted as indicating that the linear RT vs. angle relation is not due to a holistic analogue rotation of images, as had been supposed, but arises from a more articulated and piecemeal process in which analysis of the stimulus figure interacts with the comparison task.
