arXiv:2607. 23944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human visual reasoning typically follows a coarse-to-fine attention process, starting from global scene understanding and gradually focusing on question-relevant regions.

arXiv:2604. 14888v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in vision language models (VLMs) offer reasoning capabilities, yet how these unfold and integrate visual and textual information remains unclear.

arXiv:2602. 07025v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit puzzling failures in multi-object visual tasks, such as hallucinating non-existent elements or failing to identify the most similar objects among distractions.

arXiv:2606. 27596v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) exhibit sophisticated reasoning but remain susceptible to object hallucination.

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting is widely used as a test-time scaling strategy for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), but it remains unclear what is extended when VLMs generate longer reasoning traces. We ask whether CoT requires continued access to image tokens, or whether it mainly operates over visual information already made available earlier in the forward pass.
