Expectations and the guidance of fixation during real-world search

Prior research has determined that our expectations of both target appearance and target location guide where we look when searching for an object in a scene. In several experiments, I have been asking people to guess where an object will be, based on very little visual information. By quantifying these guesses we can then see how they relate to the guidance of eye movements and attention.
