summaryWe are continuously monitoring our visual environment, both by covertly orienting our attention from one to another location and by overtly making eye movements to sequentially bring different parts of the environment into foveal vision. How do we choose the next location of selection over and over again ? The present contribution aims to provide an overview of some research explicitly concerned with the question how the control of eye movements varies with the timing of the oculomotor response. The findings of several studies will be reported demonstrating the time-dependent influence of salience, task-goals, feature priming, and memory on oculomotor selection behavior. The results and implications will be discussed in relation to current views on visual selection.
