Observers were required to reproduce, after a short delay, a distance between two sample dots based on a stationary reference dot and a movable mouse pointer.

In this study we compare observers' estimates of a distance between two co-planar dots in the condition where they foveate the two sample dots and where they fixate a central dot while viewing the sample dots peripherally.
The main finding is unambiguous: fixating the sample dots improves the subsequent reproduction of a distance separating two sample dots in both, general accuracy and in precision of responses.
Each sample had two sample dots.
Statistical differences were assessed using a repeated-measure two-way ANOVA [35] with the sample encoding instruction ('fixate' and 'saccade') and the distance (eight spatial intervals between the sample dots from 2 to 16 deg) as main factors.
Subsequently, we varied the separation between the two peaks of the activation pools representing distances between the sample dots.
Presentation of the sample dots was followed by a 1500 ms blank interval - a delay period during which participants had to remember the distance between the sample dots.
In the 'fixate' trials, however, there is no 1∶1 relation between sample dots' eccentricity and the separation between them.
In the 'saccade' condition while foveating one of the sample dots the horizontal separation between the dots corresponded directly with eccentricity.
Now, each player takes a turn drawing a line between two dots.
To follow the instruction and fixate both sample dots the subjects had to execute at least two saccades: from the fixation cross to the first sample dot and from there to the second dot.
