Abstract | At some time during every fixation a decision is made to move the eyes, directing them to a new location in the stimulus array. To understand the eye movement control processes, three general hypotheses concerning the cognitive basis for deciding to move the eyes were investigated: the saccade (movement) initiation time is determined only on the basis of information obtained prior to the current fixation; the saccade initiation occurs only after all processing of the presently viewed information has been completed; and the saccade initiation occurs when some processing event takes place before the processing of current information is completed. A review of current research indicates that (1) the time of initiating a saccade can be influenced by visual information acquired on the fixation which terminates in that saccade; (2) processing of the information is not necessarily completed by the time of the decision to move the eyes; (3) with fixations too short to process information, the next saccade must be based entirely on prior information; and (4) part of the variability in the saccade onset time may be associated with the amount of processing time elapsing before the information is utilized.
