Boundary extension in the transsaccadic representation of layout

Introduction Typically, viewers remember seeing beyond the boundaries of the current view (Boundary Extension [BE]; Intraub & Richardson, 1989) BE is specific to memory for scenes, as opposed to other types of displays (Intraub et al., 1998), and neuroimaging evidence for BE has been observed specifically in sceneselective regions of the brain (PPA, RSC; Park et al., 2007) BE might facilitate integration of successive views, but ... to do so it would have to be available during the next fixation Accordingly, it would need to occur following a retention interval as brief as a saccade’s duration, and it would need to survive a saccade Here we examine the questions of 1) how rapidly following stimulus offset BE is available and 2) whether it is included in transsaccadic memory when tested immediately after a saccade
