Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that we are able to extract the gist of a scene with just one fixation pause, which is a brief pause in eye movement used to focus on a specific part of the scene. Saccadic eye movements and pursuit eye movements may also contribute to our understanding of the scene but are not necessary for extracting the gist. Saccadic suppression is not related to extracting the gist of a scene.
