Theperception of objects in our visual world is influenced by not only their low-level visual features such as shape and color, but also their high-level features such as meaning andsemantic relations among them. While it has been shown that low-level features in real-world scenes guide eye movements during scene inspection and search, the influence of semantic similarity among scene objects on eye movements in such situations has not been investigated. Here we study guidance of eye movements by semantic similarity among objects during real-world scene inspection and search. By selecting scenes from the LabelMe object-annotated image database and applying Latent...
 Highlights: ► Gaze tends to move to semantically similar object to currently inspected one. ► Semantic guidance is unaffected by the time course of scene inspection. ► Gaze is progressively guided toward semantically similar object to the search target.
