    Individuals learned and recognized barely visible patterns by directly fixating on features. Fixed scanpaths in eye movements emerged during learning and recognition, explained by a new pattern perception theory.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Visual perception

    Background:

    • Understanding pattern recognition is crucial for cognitive science.
    • Previous research has explored visual attention and eye movements during learning tasks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of direct feature fixation in learning and recognizing marginally visible patterns.
    • To identify and characterize eye movement patterns (scanpaths) during pattern perception.
    • To propose a theoretical framework explaining the observed phenomena.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants learned and recognized patterns with limited visibility.
    • Eye movements, specifically saccadic activity, were recorded.
    • Scanpath analysis was performed to identify subject- and pattern-specific movement sequences.

    Main Results:

    • Subjects successfully learned and recognized patterns requiring direct feature fixation.
    • Consistent, subject- and pattern-specific scanpaths were observed during both learning and initial recognition phases.
    • These scanpaths were intermittently present during learning and consistently appeared in initial recognition movements.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct feature fixation is essential for perceiving and learning subtle patterns.
    • Emergent, fixed scanpaths reflect underlying cognitive strategies in pattern recognition.
    • A novel theory of pattern perception can account for the observed relationship between eye movements and recognition performance.
