AB -  Introduction It is known that saccades are initiated before the visual information is fully processed. This implies that eye movement will not always be appropriate. Indeed when reading, 14% of the saccades are regressions (Starr and Rayner 2001 ), and during visual search the eyes often (in 5–55% of the trials) move away from the target and then immediately return (Hooge and Erkelens 1996 ). We recently reported that when hand movements are used in conjunction with eye movements in a search task, not only the eyes, but also the hand makes return movements (Liesker et al. 2008 ). We concluded that the hand movement is planned before visual information processing is completed and that the visual information has not been fully processed by the last moment at which the hand movement to the next item can still be cancelled. When the hands are moving to process tactile items, they never pass the target (Overvliet et al. 2007 ). One might conclude that hand movements are only initiated after tactile information processing is complete. However, the two studies did not only differ with respect to sensory information: the eye and hand had to move together in the study
