    "title": "Shifting Covert Attention to Spatially Indexed Locations Increases Retrieval\nPerformance of Verbal Information",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "People look at emptied spatial locations where information has\nbeen presented during encoding. There is evidence that this socalled\n‘looking at nothing’ behaviour plays a functional role in\nmemory retrieval of visuospatial and verbal information. However,\nit is unclear whether this effect is caused by the oculomotor\nmovement of the eyes per se or if covertly shifting attention\nis sufficient to cause the observed differences in retrieval\nperformance. In an experimental study (N = 26), participants\nwere manipulated in being able to shift either their eyes or their\nfocus of attention to a blank spatial location whilst retrieving\nverbal information that was associated with the location during\na preceding encoding phase. Results indicate that it is not\nthe oculomotor movement of the eyes that causes the facilitation\nwhile retrieving verbal materials, but rather covert shifts\nof attention are sufficient to promote differences in retrieval\nperformance.",
