While there is ample evidence for the ability to selectively attend to where in space and when in time a relevant event might
occur, it remains poorly understood whether spatial and temporal attention operate independently or interactively to optimize
behavior. To elucidate this important issue, we provide a narrative review of the literature investigating the relationship
between the two. The studies were organized based on the attentional manipulation employed (endogenous vs. exogenous)
and the type of task (detection vs. discrimination). Although the reviewed findings depict a complex scenario, three aspects
appear particularly important in promoting independent or interactive effects of spatial and temporal attention: task demands,
attentional manipulation, and their combination. Overall, the present review provides key insights into the relationship
between spatial and temporal attention and identifies some critical gaps that need to be addressed by future research.
