Exploring the numerical mind by eye-tracking: a special issue

Auteurs: Matthias Hartmann, Martin H. Fischer

Gepubliceerd in: Psychological Research | Uitgave 3/2016

Excerpt

Psychological research has a long track record of developing tools for our understanding of mental processes. Prominent among these tools are the measurement of the duration of cognitive processes (mental chronometry) and the localization of these processes in the brain (cognitive neuroscience). Somewhat less prominent, but undeservedly so, is eye movement recording or eye-tracking. Eye-tracking has a century-old history (Wade & Tatler, 2005) that has recently culminated in the widespread availability of relatively affordable and low-effort tools for the unobtrusive study of visual exploratory behaviour (e.g., Holmqvist et al., 2011). …

volgende artikel Insights into numerical cognition: considering eye-fixations in number processing and arithmetic

These numbers are based on an online search of the Web of Knowledge database on Dec 20 2015, using the search term “eye movements” in conjunction with either “number” or “language”. Research results that did not investigate aspects of numerical cognition or language processing were then manually removed to obtain the correct number of relevant studies between the years 2006 and 2015.
