Reviewer #2 (Public review): Transsaccadic working memory in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative disease

This study makes an important contribution by revealing how saccades selectively disrupt spatial working memory while sparing other object features, and by demonstrating how this mechanism is altered in aging and neurodegeneration.The findings are supported by convincing evidence derived from well-controlled eye-tracking experiments and systematic generative model comparisons.Together, the work provides a computationally grounded framework that is of importance for understanding trans-saccadic memory and its clinical relevance.
