It is well established that rote rehearsal plays a key role in serial memory for lists of verbal items. Although a great deal of research has informed us about the nature of verbal rehearsal, much less attention has been devoted to rehearsal in serial memory for visual-spatial information. By using the dot task--a visual-spatial analogue of the classical verbal serial recall task--with delayed recall, performance and eyetracking data were recorded in order to establish whether visual-spatial rehearsal could be evidenced by eye movement. The use of eye movement as a form of rehearsal is detectable (Experiment 1), and it seems to contribute to serial memory performance over and above rehearsal based on shifts of spatial attention (Experiments 1 and 2).
众所周知，机械复述在言语项目列表的系列记忆中起着关键作用。尽管大量研究让我们了解了言语复述的本质，但对于视觉空间信息的系列记忆中的复述，关注却少得多。通过使用点任务——经典言语系列回忆任务的视觉空间类似物——并进行延迟回忆，记录了表现和眼动数据，以确定视觉空间复述是否可以通过眼动得到证明。将眼动作为一种复述形式是可检测到的（实验1），并且它似乎在基于空间注意力转移的复述之外，对系列记忆表现也有贡献（实验1和2）。
