The nature of the interactions between covert mental processes, such as attention and working memory, and the control of overt actions, such as eye-movements, has been of long standing interest and controversy. There is broad agreement that motor control, attention, and working memory do interact, but less consensus on how or why they do. Until now, most work has focused on the interaction between motor control and attention. On this topic, different viewpoints have been advanced. For example, at one end of the spectrum lie theoretical approaches such as Rizzolatti's Premotor Theory (Rizzolatti, Riggio, Dascola, & Umilta, 1987) which argued that covert attention is functionally equivalent to the programming of actions such as saccadic eyemovements. At the other end, scholars such as Klein (Klein, 1980; MacLean, Klein, & Hilchey, 2015) argued for a complete decoupling of action control and attention, while others have argued for partial independence (Belopolsky & Theeuwes, 2012; Casteau & Smith, 2019; Smith & Schenk, 2012). More recently, a new debate about the role of actions, and in particular eye-movements, in the encoding, maintenance, and recall of visual working memory emerged (Aagten-Murphy & Bays, 2019; Heuer, Ohl, & Rolfs, 2020; Van der Stigchel & Hollingworth, 2018). In 2019 we organised a workshop in Durham, supported by the ESRC, DfG and NWO, to discuss different theoretical positions and potential approaches for translating research findings into applications. Several key themes emerged from this meeting. One fundamental issue that was identified was the need to develop new theoretical frameworks that helped move the discussion away from the notion of strict all or nothing coupling between attention and motor control, as exemplified by Premotor Theory, in favour of a more nuanced, interactionist approach that sought to understand the conditions under which the motor system could exert and influence attention and memory. A second was the need to differentiate between ‘premotor’shifts of attention that occur in the moments before a movement, and truly ‘covert’attention shifts that occur in the absence of any overt movement. A third theme also emerged, focused on the nature of the interaction between motor control and non-spatial attention. This interaction appears to be less understood than the interaction between motor control and spatial attention and is an area ripe for exploration. Finally, much discussion centred on the neuropsychology of attention and action, with an emphasis on developing a better understanding of how the complex relationship between attention and the motor system might express itself in different disorders. These four themes are also reflected in the papers published in this special issue. Three of the papers in the SI are primarily theoretical. Olivers and Roelfsema (2020) focus on the interactions between attention, action and visual working memory (VWM), arguing that VWM acts not simply as a storage system for past
