Discussion

Assessment identified how visual verification engages working memory in human participants, indicating internal processes influence search outcomes.

Visual verification in working memory is slower to deploy than in perception, impacting search efficiency.
Participants demonstrated internal inspection behavior linked to the time required for verifying potential search targets.
Frontal theta activity in scalp EEG was observed during both memory and perceptual verification, indicating shared neural engagement.
This research highlights internal verification as a key component of visual search, opening new avenues for understanding search behavior.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
