An example scan path divided into search epochs. In this scene, the target is the black lamp clamped to a shelf. Initiation (white) is when the observer begins to search the scene, defined as the time between stimulus onset and the first saccade. Scanning (purple) is the search epoch, defined as the time between the first saccade and the first fixation on the target object. Verification (green) is when the observer confirms that the object they fixated is the target object, operationalized as the time between initially fixating the target object and the subject’s response.
