Abstract
Visual search is an everyday task that requires the coordination of vision, attention, and memory. The challenge in studying a complex task like visual search is trying to determine the relative contributions of each of these components. Eye movements provide incredibly useful data for parsing complex tasks that rely on visual processing. In this chapter, I will review work on how eye movements have been used in visual search research, focusing on the effect of memory on visual search. Specifically, I will discuss why eye movements are useful for highlighting the role of memory in visual search and the consequences of visual search processing on memory. Eye movement data help isolate the processing components of visual search and permit a finer-grained analysis of the task. However, eye movements are not always a perfect predictor of the outcome of processing, pointing to interesting aspects of the effect of visual search.
