That's another amazing thing you can do. Open a book and select a word. Now look around the room, then look back to the same word in the book, you remember precisely where it is and how much movement your head and eyes need to make to get to it. I assume it's like you were saying above, you have a mental image of the whole room, and you're just moving back to concentrate on a known part of it.


Yesp not so easy if someopne else has the book and has moved it.
This is why self testing is not valid.
Only you will know where the word is because only you looked at it with your eyes in yuor timeframe.
