Trained eyes: experience promotes adaptive gaze control in dynamic and uncertain visual environments.

Current eye-tracking research suggests that our eyes make anticipatory movements to a location that is relevant for a forthcoming task. Moreover, there is evidence to suggest that with more practice anticipatory gaze control can improve. However, these findings are largely limited to situations wher...
