Abstract
An experiment was designed to investigate whether exhaustivity is a concept that requires linguistic processing. A small sample size of participants were shown pairs of images, one image could be described using exhaustivity, the other could not. Their implicit recognition of this category was measured through pregaze, using an eye-tracker. The first question to answer was whether or not exhaustivity could even be recognised implicitly. It is concluded that exhaustivity is implicitly recognisable as pregaze does occur. The second question was to see if the recognition required linguistic processing. Verbal shadowing was introduced to overload the language centre. Mixed linear models were made to see if verbal shadowing had a significantly destructive impact on pregaze. The results appear inconclusive.
