Memory shapes judgments: Tracing how memory biases judgments by inducing the retrieval of exemplars.

•Eye movements to “nothing” can be used to observe exemplar retrieval from memory.•We study whether memory biases in judgment can be explained by exemplar retrieval.•We show that eye movements to “nothing” predict judgments.•Eye movements mediate the effect of biasing cues on judgments.•The study quantifies the biasing effect of memory on judgments.
