The right hemisphere allows for exploratory attention, while the left only focuses on what’s already been prioritized
Essentially the left hemisphere’s narrow attention (The right hemisphere has broad, global, and flexible attention, while the left has narrow attention), which it believes it directs towards whatever it may be, has in reality already been seized by the right. It is thus the right hemisphere that has dominance for exploratory attentional movements, while the left hemisphere assists in focussed grasping of what has already been prioritized. It is the right hemisphere that controls where that attention is to be oriented.
