Skilled action typically requires that individuals guide their activities toward some goal. In skilled action, individuals do so excellently. We do not understand well what this capacity to guide consists in. In this paper I provide a case study of how individuals shift visual attention. Their capacity to guide visual attention toward some goal (partly) consists in an empirically discovered sub-system – the executive system. I argue that we can explain how individuals guide by appealing to the operation of this sub-system. Understanding skill and skilled action thus requires appreciating the role of the executive system.

技术指导

熟练的行动通常要求个人将自己的活动引导至某个目标。在熟练的动作中，个人表现出色。我们不太了解这种指导能力的含义。在本文中，我提供了一个有关个人如何转移视觉注意力的案例研究。他们将视觉注意力引向某个目标的能力（部分）在于凭经验发现的子系统-执行系统。我认为，我们可以通过诉诸该子系统的操作来解释个人如何进行指导。因此，了解技能和熟练的动作需要赞赏执行系统的作用。
