Saccadic eye movements help to quickly shift attention to the moving object, while sensory memory allows the brain to briefly hold onto sensory information, such as the sight of the moving animal, before it is processed further. Thus, both saccadic eye movements and sensory memory play a role in the conscious registering of the animal's movement.
