Visual search involves both automatic and intentional eye movements. Automatic processes guide the eyes to new locations, while intentional processes allow revisiting previously seen items during visual search.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Perception

Background:

  • Scanning history influences saccade target selection in visual search.
  • Previously inspected items are less likely to be selected as saccade targets with few intervening saccades.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt Jacoby's process dissociation procedure to assess intentional and automatic processes in saccade target selection.
  • To investigate the role of inhibition of return (IOR) as a potential automatic component.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a process dissociation procedure to differentiate intentional and automatic contributions to eye movement control.
  • Conducted a second experiment to specifically measure inhibition of return (IOR).

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A significant automatic component was identified, directing eye movements towards unexamined locations.
  • An intentional component enabled participants to intentionally re-examine previously viewed items and select new targets.
  • Inhibition of return (IOR) was observed for previously examined items.

Conclusions:

  • Both automatic and intentional memory traces contribute to guiding eye movements during visual search.
  • Inhibition of return (IOR) likely underlies the automatic component of avoiding previously inspected locations.
