Gaze patterns

…a visual scene but also by specific gaze patterns during visual exploration. Revisitations occur when the eye gaze returns to a previously fixated location, resembling retrieval processes and offering another chance to encode. What remains unclear is whether revisitations actually enhance long-term memory formation and how they are associated with hippocampal activity dynamics. In this study, 50 human participant

Contemporary Bayesian theories of the mind highlight the role of prediction errors as a driving force in learning processes and the updating of our models of the world and of ourselves. This process is postulated to manifest both at explicit levels (e.g., subjective responses) and at implicit levels (e.g., eye movements, reaction time) of behavior. We developed a novel associative learning task in immersive virtual reality, in which a cue probabilistically predicted the subsequent location of a target to which participants had to reach. Specifically, the current study (N = 30) examined: (1) wh
