Eye movements during natural tasks suggest that observers do not use working memory to capacity but instead use eye movements to acquire relevant information immediately before needed. Results here however, show that this strategy is sensitive to memory load and to observers' expectations about what information will be relevant. Depending upon the predictability of what object features would be needed in a brick sorting task, subjects spontaneously modulated the order in which they sampled and…

Saccadic eye movements in the dark while performing an automatized sequential high-speed sensorimotor task.
TLDR
The hypothesis of an LTM-based mode of attention selection during the execution of automatized sequential high-speed sensorimotor tasks, which predicts task-relevant saccades in the dark, is supported.
The World as an External Memory: The Price of Saccades in a Sensorimotor Task
TLDR
Evidence for an adaptive shift in subjects’ behavior toward memorization is found by introducing a price for a certain type of saccades, however, the response is not adaptive; it is maladaptive, as memorization leads to longer overall performance time.
Keeping it real: Looking beyond capacity limits in visual cognition
TLDR
It is proposed that capacity measurements should also pass the real-world test within naturalistic frameworks and that the closer the authors get to naturalistic behavior, the more they encounter implicit learning mechanisms that operate “for free” and “on the fly,” which provide a surprisingly rich visual experience.
Learning where to direct gaze during change detection.
TLDR
It is concluded that striking demonstrations of change blindness may reflect not only the constraints of attention and working memory, but also what observers have learnt about what information to attend and select for storage during the task of change detection.
Gaze control and memory for objects while walking in a real world environment
Assessments of gaze behaviour and object memory are typically done in the context of experimental paradigms briefly presenting transient static images of synthetic or real scenes. Less is known about…
Refixation patterns reveal memory-encoding strategies in free viewing
TLDR
Correct change detection was associated with more refixation on targets and less on distractors, with increased frequency of recurrence, and with longer intervals between refixations.
The influence of instructions on object memory in a real-world setting.
TLDR
This study studied the influence of task instructions on memory performance and fixation allocation in a real-world setting, in which participants were free to move around, to suggest that the manner in which information is extracted and retained varies with the instructions given to participants.
Visual search for category sets: tradeoffs between exploration and memory.
TLDR
The results show that tradeoffs between memory and exploration in a cognitively demanding task are determined by continual and effective monitoring of perceptual load, cognitive demand, decision strategies and motor effort.
Eye movements in dynamic environments
TLDR
A computational approach that quantifies the relationship between blinking behavior and environmental demands is presented, and it is shown that blinking is the result of a trade-off between task demands and the internal urge to blink in the authors' psychophysical experiment.

Task constraints in visual working memory
Memory Representations in Natural Tasks
TLDR
A series of experiments are designed to test the use of short-term memory in the course of a natural hand-eye task where subjects have the freedom to choose their own task parameters and reduce the instantaneous memory required to perform the task by serializing the task with eye movements.
Task demands control acquisition and storage of visual information.
TLDR
The authors explore how hand and eye behavior are coordinated for strategic acquisition and storage of visual information throughout the task.
Voluntary and automatic attentional control of visual working memory
TLDR
Visual transients may automatically influence the transfer of perceptual representations into visual working memory when using both predictive and nonpredictive cues in the context of a visualWorking memory task.
What you see is what you need.
TLDR
The experiments suggest a highly purposive and task specific nature of human vision, where information extracted from the fixation point is used for certain computations only "just in time" when needed to solve the current goal.
What controls attention in natural environments?
Vision Using Routines: A Functional Account of Vision
This paper presents the case for a functional account of vision. A variety of studies have consistently revealed “change blindness” or insensitivity to changes in the visual scene during an eye…
Visual memory and motor planning in a natural task.
TLDR
This paper investigates the temporal dependencies of natural vision by measuring eye and hand movements while subjects made a sandwich, suggesting that much natural vision can be accomplished with "just-in-time" representations.
Working memory and executive function: The influence of content and load on the control of attention
TLDR
It is demonstrated that when information currently maintained in WM is reencountered, it is harder to exert executive control over it, suggesting that the increased salience provided to the contents of WM through active rehearsal exerts a content-specific influence on attentional control.
The capacity of visual working memory for features and conjunctions
TLDR
It is demonstrated that it is possible to retain information about only four colours or orientations in visual working memory at one time, but it is also possible to retaining both the colour and the orientation of four objects, indicating that visual workingMemory stores integrated objects rather than individual features.
