Our eyes do not only respond to visual perception but also to internal cognition involving
visual imagery, which can be referred to as internal coupling. This review synthesizes …

Eye fixation patterns during mental imagery are similar to those during perception of the
same picture, suggesting that oculomotor mechanisms play a role in mental imagery (ie, the …

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 …

Mounting evidence indicates a close correspondence between episodic memory, mental
imagery, and oculomotor behaviour. It remains unclear, however, how oculomotor variables …

Past research theorises that eye-closure and associated mental visualisation, which occurs
during the design process, may be important for supporting creativity. Despite these claims …

Memory plays a major but underexplored role in judgment and decision making (JDM).
Studying eye movements—especially how people look at empty spatial locations when …

When we imagine a picture, we move our eyes even though the picture is physically not
present. These eye movements provide information about the ongoing process of mental …

During memory retrieval, people tend to reenact the same eye movements performed when
memorized items were first displayed and to gaze at similar locations. This was …

Much of the rich internal world constructed by humans is derived from, and experienced
through, visual mental imagery. Despite growing appreciation of visual exploration in …

This thesis aims to examine the nature of spatial representations in visuospatial working
memory (VSWM) and the mechanism by which the oculomotor system supports VSWM …
