Recalling what was where when seeing nothing there

چکیده
So-called "looks-at-nothing" have previously been used to show that recalling what also elicits the recall of where this was. Here, we present evidence from an eye-tracking study which shows that disrupting looks to "there" does not disrupt recalling what was there, nor do (anticipatory) looks to "there" facilitate recalling what was there. Therefore, our results suggest that recalling where does not recall what.

Recent eyetracking have supported this hypothesis by showing that people tend to look at empty places, where requested information has been previously presented. However it remained unclear what performance implications this behavior has...
متن کاملFirst glances: the vision of infants. the Friedenwald lecture.
L wenty-five years ago, when my children were small, scientists knew almost nothing about the development of vision in human infants. William James had opined that the infant's perceptual world was a blooming, buzzing confusion. Some ophthalmologists were inclined to suggest that infants could see almost nothing. Yet parents had known for millennia that infants stare at faces and boldly pattern...
