It is proposed that seeing is a way of acting, which provides a natural and principled way of accounting for visual consciousness, and for the differences in the perceived quality of sensory experience in the different sensory modalities.
Solving the "real" mysteries of visual perception: the world as an outside memory.
- J. O'Regan
- ArtCanadian journal of psychology
- 1 September 1992
This paper discusses several defects of vision and the classical theories of how they are overcome, and suggests an alternative approach, in which the outside world is considered as a kind of external memory store which can be accessed instantaneously by casting one's eyes (or one's attention) to some location.

The data indicate that the presence in the neighborhood of at least one unit of higher frequency than the stimulus word itself results in interference in stimulus word processing.

- 1 February 1992
Through the use of high- and low-frequency words of lengths 4, 5, 7, 9, and 11 letters, it is shown that the time it takes to name a word or to decide if a stimulus is a word or a nonword depends…

By manipulating the internal lexical structure of the words, it is shown that at least part of the fixation location effect is caused by mechanisms related to ongoing lexical processing.
