Using Fixations To Measure Attention
Steven Cullipher, Jessica R. VandenPlas · ACS symposium series · 2018
Identifying fixations, a point when eye movement stops and attention is focused, is an important first step to analyzing and interpreting the results of an eye-tracking study. This chapter discusses the importance of fixations in eye tracking, as well as methods for identifying fixations and common metrics used in fixational data analysis. The use of fixations in a chemical education research study on interpretation of infrared spectra is discussed to demonstrate the utility of this valuable data source.
