    High scanners rely on eye movements for figure reversals, while low scanners use internal attention shifts. Scanning behavior is influenced by stimulus complexity and motivation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Visual Perception

    Background:

    • Ambiguous figures, such as the Necker cube, present perceptual challenges.
    • Individual differences in visual scanning behavior are well-documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between eye-movement patterns and the reversal of ambiguous figures.
    • To explore how scanning behavior influences attentional shifts during perceptual reversals.

    Main Methods:

    • Eye-tracking technology was employed to record participants' eye movements.
    • Participants viewed and reported reversals of various ambiguous figures.

    Main Results:

    • Distinct eye-movement patterns correlated with figure reversals.

  • High scanners demonstrated greater reliance on saccadic eye movements for attention shifts.
  • Low scanners exhibited enhanced internal attention shifting capabilities.

    • Conclusions:

    • Eye-movement patterns are integral to the reversal of ambiguous figures.
    • Scanning behavior, stimulus complexity, and motivation interact to modulate perceptual reversals.
