Gaze correction accuracy for full-array, rotation trials in Experiment 3 as a function of the difference in distance of the target and distractor from the landing position of the initial saccade. For each type of trial, the distance difference data were split into halves. Mean distance difference in each half is plotted against mean gaze correction accuracy in that half Data are plotted separately for the gaze-correction-only and dual-task conditions.

Gaze correction accuracy for full-array, rotation trials in Experiment 2 as a function of the difference in distance of the target and distractor from the landing position of the initial saccade. Small differences in distance (center of the figure) represent trials on which the eyes landed near the midpoint between target and distractor. Large differences in distance (far right and left of figure) represent trials on which the eyes landed much closer to one object than to the other. Trials on which the eyes landed closer to the distractor than to the target are plotted on the left. Trials on which the eyes landed closer to the target than to the distractor are plotted on the right. For each type of trial, the distance difference data were split into thirds. Mean distance difference in each third is plotted against mean gaze correction accuracy in that third.

Eye movement scan paths for the full-array rotation trials of a single participant in Experiment 1. Panel A shows all 12 trials on which the array started at the clock positions and rotated clockwise during the saccade. Panel B shows all 12 trials on which the array started at the clock positions and rotated counterclockwise during the saccade. The white disks indicate object positions after the rotation. White dotted circles indicate the scoring regions used for data analysis. Black lines represent saccades and small black dots fixations. The initial saccade directed from central fixation to the array typically landed between target and distractor, as expected given the rotation of the array during the saccade. Then, gaze was corrected. Numerical values indicate correction latency (duration of the fixation before the corrective saccade) in ms for each depicted trial. Note that corrective saccades were directed to the appropriate clockwise (Panel A) or counterclockwise (Panel B) target object.
