      abstract     = {In this study we introduce a new gaze-contingent visual
                      foraging task in which participants searched through an
                      environment by looking at trees displayed on a computer
                      screen. If the looked-at tree contained a fruit item, the
                      item became visible and was collected. In each trial, the
                      participant's task was to forage for a defined number of
                      fruit items. In two experiments, fruit items were either
                      randomly distributed about the trees (dispersed condition)
                      or organised in one large patch (patchy condition). In the
                      second experiment, we addressed the role of memory for
                      foraging by including a condition that did not require
                      memorising which trees had already been visited by changing
                      their appearance (tree fading). Foraging performance was
                      superior in the patchy as compared to the dispersed
                      condition and benefited from tree-fading. In addition, with
                      further analyses on search behaviour, these results suggest
                      (1) that participants were sensitive to the distribution of
                      resources, (2) that they adapted their search/foraging
                      strategy accordingly, and (3) that foraging behaviour is in
                      line with predictions derived from foraging theories,
                      specifically area-restricted search, developed for large
                      scale spatial foraging. We therefore argue that the visual
                      search task presented shares characteristics and cognitive
                      mechanisms involved in successful large-scale search and
                      foraging behaviour and can therefore be successfully
                      employed to study these mechanisms.},
