Abstract:
Eye tracking technology is a high-potential tool for different mathematic cognition research areas. Moreover, there is a dire need for more studies that provide detailed information on the quality of registered eye data. This study aimed to illustrate the applicability of eye tracking in the examination of mathematical cognition, focusing specifically on primary school students completing a computerized mental arithmetic task. Results suggested that the eye tracking device effectively captured high-quality eye movement data when primary school children engaged in this specific task. Furthermore, significant negative correlations have been found between task performance and number of eye fixations. Finally, eye movements distinctions between \"Areas of Interest\" have been found, indicating different visual tracking associated with different components of arithmetic calculations. This study underscores the extensive possibilities for future research employing eye tracking devices during computerized calculation tasks as assessment tools to explore the complex visual and cognitive processes.
摘要:
眼动追踪技术是用于不同数学认知研究领域的潜在工具。此外,迫切需要更多的研究来提供有关注册眼科数据质量的详细信息。本研究旨在说明眼动追踪在数学认知检查中的适用性。特别关注完成计算机化心算任务的小学生。结果表明,当小学生从事这项特定任务时,眼动跟踪设备有效地捕获了高质量的眼动数据。此外,已发现任务表现与眼睛固定次数之间存在显着负相关。最后,已发现“感兴趣区域”之间的眼球运动差异,指示与算术计算的不同组件相关联的不同视觉跟踪。这项研究强调了未来研究在计算机化计算任务中使用眼动跟踪设备作为评估工具来探索复杂的视觉和认知过程的广泛可能性。
