Eye movements in language and cognition
The eye independently evolved over 40 times in nature (Fernald 1997), yet, strikingly all
animals with developed visual systems actively control their gaze using eye or head …

Listen up, eye movements play a role in verbal memory retrieval
People fixate on blank spaces if visual stimuli previously occupied these regions of space.
This so-called “looking at nothing”(LAN) phenomenon is said to be a part of information …

Short article: Language comprehenders retain implied shape and orientation of objects
According to theories of embodied cognition, language comprehenders simulate
sensorimotor experiences to represent the meaning of what they read. Previous studies …

Fixation reinstatement supports visuospatial memory in older adults.
Research using eye movement monitoring suggests that recapitulating the pattern of eye
movements made during stimulus encoding at subsequent retrieval supports memory by …

An electrophysiological measure of access to representations in visual working memory
M Eimer, M Kiss - Psychophysiology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Previous research has demonstrated that the maintenance of visual information in working
memory is associated with a sustained posterior contralateral negativity. Here we show that …

Much ado about eye movements to nothing: A response to Ferreira et al.: Taking a new look at looking at nothing
Ferreira et al.[1] outline an 'integrated representation theory'of the 'looking at
nothing'phenomenon that we have previously documented [2–9]. We largely agree with the …

Redundant spoken labels facilitate perception of multiple items
Because of the strong associations between verbal labels and the visual objects that they
denote, hearing a word may quickly guide the deployment of visual attention to the named …

Visual motion aftereffect from understanding motion language
AT Dils, L Boroditsky - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Do people spontaneously form visual mental images when understanding language, and if
so, how truly visual are these representations? We test whether processing linguistic …

Visual motion interferes with lexical decision on motion words
Embodied theories of cognition propose that neural substrates used in experiencing the
referent of a word, for example perceiving upward motion, should be engaged in weaker …
