Abstract. In need of simultaneously tackling various tasks at a fast pace, teaching is a job that requires skillful attention allocation. Selective visual attention forms the basis of teacher's professional vision – ...
Eye movements have been studied in a Japanese Spacelab payload specialist carrying out a visual task on earth (1g gravity) before and after a space flight. The experiment was repeated in space (microgravity) using the same subject. In addition to eye ...
We assessed discomfort, time and number of saccades for reading a text superimposed to a moving background. When background moved in the main directions of reading (left to right or top to bottom), discomfort was rated significantly lower than when ...
This multiple-case study addresses the question of how information from the environment is integrated with mental images. Chess players (N = 4) of different skill levels were submitted to a visual imagery task with familiar stimuli (chess positions) and ...
Zusammenfassung: In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat sich die Messung und Analyse von Blickbewegungen mehr und mehr zur einer Standardmethode für die Untersuchung des Lesens und der Leseentwicklung im Kindesalter entwickelt. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden ...
Zusammenfassung. Im vorliegenden Experiment stand die Wirkung des Flimmerns an Bildschirmen im Zentrum der Betrachtung. Geprüft wurde die Leistung in visuellen Suchaufgaben, die an einem Kathodenstrahlmonitor (100 Hz) und an einem Pseudobildschirm mittels ...
Reading after the German spelling reformAbstract. Ten years ago the decision was made to reform German spelling. In an eye movement study we examined which kind of effects the spelling reform had on reading performance. In addition to eye movement data ...
Abstract The present study examined whether volunteers with common colds showed impairments in objective and subjective indicators of alertness. All the volunteers (N = 81) were tested when healthy to provide baseline data for mood, simple and choice ...
AbstractDuchenne de Boulogne (1862/1990) observed that authentic smiles are distinguished from posed smiles by contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscle that surrounds the eye. Hager and Ekman (1985) subsequently reported that the “Duchenne smile” is ...
Where does the experience of familiarity come from? Is it the same as sensory perception? Two novel approaches were combined to investigate the highly adaptive process of familiar face recognition: the inclusion of friends and family members as personally ...
Abstract. There has been a surge in social cognition and social neurosciences research comparing laboratory and real eye movements. Eye movements during the retrieval of autobiographical memories (i.e., personal memories) in laboratory situations are ...
Abstract. Eye movements of children (Grade 5-6) and adults were monitored while they were watching a foreign language movie with either standard (foreign language soundtrack and native language subtitling) or reversed (foreign language subtitles and ...
An eye tracker experiment investigated 4-, 6-, and 8-year old children’s cognitive processing of film cuts. Nine short film sequences with or without editing errors were presented to 79 children. Eye movements up to 400 ms after the targeted film cuts ...
Abstract. This research investigated the nature of encoding and its contribution to serial recall for visual-spatial information. In order to do so, we examined the relationship between fixation duration and recall performance. Using the dot task - a ...
In a visual search task using photographs of real faces, a target emotional face was presented in an array of six neutral faces. Eye movements were monitored to assess attentional orienting and detection efficiency. ...
Effects of anxiety on the antisaccade task were assessed. Performance effectiveness on this task (indexed by error rate) reflects a conflict between volitional and reflexive responses resolved by inhibitory processes (Hutton, S. B., & Ettinger, U. (2006). ...
An eye movement experiment was conducted to examine effects of local lexical predictability on fixation durations and fixation locations during sentence reading. In the high-predictability condition, a verb strongly constrained the lexical identity of the ...
We assessed the importance of outline contour and individual features in mediating the recognition of animals by examining response times and eye movements in an animal-object decision task (i.e., deciding whether or not an object was an animal that may ...
When a saccadic target is presented simultaneously with a distractor, the distractor has to be inhibited in order to successfully perform an eye movement to the target. Insufficient inhibition results in an erroneous eye movement to the distractor. This ...
We examined perceptual sequence learning by means of an adapted serial reaction time task in which eye movements were unnecessary for performing the sequence learning task. Participants had to respond to the identity of a target letter pair (“OX” or “XO”) ...
