In this paper it is hypothesized that the spatial locations of objects both in a verbal description and from a complex picture are reflected in the eye movements during a visualization of these objects. In four experiments, eye movements were recorded while test subjects recalled objects that were either previously observed in a complex picture or presented in a verbal description. In both cases,
