“…In particular, several studies have identified decisionrelated biases in looking behavior, where gaze is found to be biased towards the item that is eventually chosen. This gaze bias effect has been shown to be remarkably robust, and has been demonstrated across a variety of decision tasks and stimulus materials (Glaholt & Reingold, 2009a, 2009bGlaholt, Wu, & Reingold, 2009;Pieters & Warlop, 1999;Schotter, Berry, McKenzie, & Rayner, accepted for publication;Shimojo, Simion, Shimojo, & Scheier, 2003;Simion & Shimojo, 2006 for a review see Glaholt & Reingold, in press). In addition to the prior focus of comparing looking behavior toward the chosen versus non-chosen items, the main goal of the present investigation was to explore decision-related influences on gaze behavior by employing a subtle instructional manipulation.…”
