Eye movements reveal learning and information-seeking in attentional template acquisition

Abstract: Visual attention serves to select relevant visual information. However, observers often first need to find out what is relevant. Little is known about this information-seeking process and how it affects attention. We employed a cued visual search task in combination with eye tracking to investigate which oculomotor measures reflect the acquisition of information for a subsequent task. A cue indicated as to which target to look for in a following search display. Cue-target combinations were repeated several tim… Show more

“…Below, I will discuss an example in which the trade-off is influenced by the "time costs" associated with the execution of an eye movement. Furthermore, costs might relate to the energy required to perform a specific movement (Gallivan et al, 2018), to perform a specific task (Alfandari et al, 2019;Droll & Hayhoe, 2007), or to the reward associated with a specific movement (Hayhoe & Ballard, 2005).…”

“…Besides the costs associated with a saccade and the costs of storing the visual features of an object in visual working memory, the decision to sample information from the external world is also influenced by the uncertainty of one's own mental state. For instance, observers frequently made eye movements towards the cue for a subsequent search task, even when they had already learned the identity of the search cue over a course of trials (Alfandari et al, 2019). Rather than relying on their memory, observers chose to have another look at the search cue, perhaps in an effort to decrease the uncertainty associated with the accuracy of the internally stored search cue (i.e., "just to be sure").…”

“…When viewing two-tone images in the After condition, these feature-object associations might guide fixations towards these specific visual patterns, irrespective of transformations such as those introduced by the mirror-flipping. While this possibility might seem implausible, there is evidence to suggest that such learning processes are an important factor in oculomotor control (Alfandari, Belopolsky, & Olivers, 2019).…”

“…On the theoretical side, this study can further the scientific understanding of how BGM interacts with cognitive tasks in the foreground, particularly on complex cognition and oculomotor behaviors in reading tasks. On the methodological side, since reading comprehension is a cognitive process and eye movements can be used to explain/predict perceptual attention 18 , information acquisition processes 19 and information integration processes 16 , this study employed fine-grained eye movement measures to understand how students read. Fine-grained measures are advantageous in revealing different levels of cognition (e.g., first-pass fixation duration can reflect early lexical processing; regressive eye movements can reflect difficulties in post-lexical semantic integration) 13 , 20 .…”
