DESCRIPTION:Our brains are continually making decisions. One of the common
 est – done several times every second of our waking lives – is decidin
 g which part of the world to look at next. If an object has appeared previ
 ously in a certain location\, our brain expects that it may appear there a
 gain and so can decide more quickly to look at it should it reappear. What
  has not been clear\, however\, is how the brain translates information ab
 out when and where objects have previously appeared into “expectation”
 . Through laboratory studies that closely examine how eye movement timing 
 (saccadic latency) changes with the appearance probability and location of
  visual targets\, the processes underlying expectation development are beg
 inning to be understood.
