Visual search efficiency improves with repeated exposure to the same search problem, yet the mechanisms behind these search efficiency gains remain unclear. Investigating how eye-movement sequences evolve over repeated viewings is fundamental for understanding how skilful search develops over time and its role in learning and gaining expertise. Scanpath theory holds that repeated displays are inve
