Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative differences in perceptual information-searching activities before and after hypothesis formation were investigated. The task performed was a simple target searching task, in which the location of the target was varied to form a pattern. As indices of information-searching activities, head movements with a restricted visual field were recorded. The following became clear: Before a hypothesis was established, the main strategy was to search for the target after the stimulus was presented. Once the pattern hypothesis was established, however, an anticipative strategy prevailed.
