Eye Movements Reveal Hidden Memories Beyond What People Report

▪️A new study demonstrated that eye movements can serve as a powerful tool for detecting memory, even when people report not remembering. In experiments, participants rewatched animation clips with surprising events, and their gaze naturally shifted toward the spot of the surprise, indicating stored memory.

▪️This method was often more accurate than verbal reports, proving that people sometimes remember more than they can say. The findings open new possibilities for measuring memory in infants, non-verbal patients, and individuals with neurological conditions.
