Researchers from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics set out to test a theory that first arose more than 50 years ago .

A discovery in the 1970s revealed that people’s pupils dilate when they recognise something they have seen before.

This phenomenon, called the pupil old/new effect’, has been confirmed in multiple experiments.

But now, experts wanted to find out whether pupil dilation might also reflect how clearly and precisely something is remembered.
