Abstract
Some visual search tasks require the memorization of the location of stimuli that have been previously focused. Considerations about the eye movements raise the question of how we are able to maintain a coherent memory, despite the frequent drastic changes in the perception. In this article, we present a computational model that is able to anticipate the consequences of eye movements on visual perception in order to update a spatial working memory.
