A shift of the visual attention focus is known to precede saccades. However, how the metrics of both this presaccadic attention shift and the saccade are coupled is still unclear. We altered the saccade size by short-term saccadic adaptation to determine whether the attention focus would still be shifted to the location of the saccade target or to the modified postsaccadic eye position. The results showed that saccadic adaptation had no influence on the presaccadic attention shift. Thus either different processes determine the metrics of the attention shift and of the saccade or saccadic adaptation causes only modifications on a lower hierarchical level of saccade programming, thereby not influencing the metrics of the attention shift.
