The preferential viewing effect in young adults (n = 30). (A) Percent time viewing the target (on trials when the target was selected), and percent time viewing the foil (on trials when a foil was selected) during the time from presentation of the scenes to the memory judgment (experiment 1). The percent time viewing the to-be-selected scene was greater when the choice was correct (target) than when the choice was incorrect (foil) (i.e., a preferential viewing effect). (B) The percent time viewing the to-be-selected scene in 0.5-s time bins for the 3.0 s immediately preceding the memory judgment. The preferential viewing effect was evident in each time bin during the 1.5 s before the memory judgment (shaded area in B). *P < 0.030. Error bars denote SE.
