The Effect of Time on Visual Search Patterns
- Date Issued:
- 2016
- Summary:
- Spatial intelligence is the ability to conceptualize and comprehend complicated visual scenes. Previous studies have shown that scanning patterns change based on the content and the layout viewed. For example, subjects will scan a webpage differently when imagery is present as opposed to reading text-only pages. This study proposes the question: Does the element of time have a crucial effect on scanning patterns and the degree of comprehension? With the aid of eye-tracking technology, this paper will explore subjects’ fixation durations and saccade patterns in a timed environment. The results may potentially influence methods for administering timed evaluations in the educational system.
