Some theoretical models have explained the relationship between attention and movement (see Vilchez 2013, for a review). The particular meaning that attentional cues had in a context is the cornerstone of the attractive/repulsive positional effect on movement found in the literature (e.g. Vilchez and Tornay 2012; Vilchez 2015, 2017a).
