The role of eye movements in mental imagery and visual memory is typically investigated by
presenting stimuli or scenes on a two-dimensional (2D) computer screen. When questioned …

During recall of visual information people tend to move their eyes even though there is
nothing to see. Previous studies indicated that such eye movements are related to the …

Visual memory has been demonstrated to play a role in both visual search and attentional
prioritization in natural scenes. However, it has been studied predominantly in experimental …

Central and peripheral fields of view extract information of different quality and serve
different roles during visual tasks. Past research has studied this dichotomy on-screen in …

Visual working memory—holding past visual information in mind for upcoming behavior—is
commonly studied following the abrupt removal of visual objects from static two-dimensional …

One approach to studying the recognition of scenes and objects relies on the comparison of
eye movement patterns during encoding and recognition. Past studies typically analyzed the …

Introduction Eye-tracking technology provides a reliable and cost-effective approach to
characterize mental representation according to specific patterns. Mental rotation tasks …

In four experiments, we examined observers' ability to locate objects in virtual displays while
rotating to new perspectives. In Experiment 1, participants updated the locations of …

This chapter explores the current state of the art in eye tracking within 3D virtual
environments. It begins with the motivation for eye tracking in Virtual Reality (VR) in …

This thesis investigates the relationship between eye movements, mental imagery and
memory retrieval in four studies based on eye-tracking experiments. The first study is an …
