Eye Movements in Integrating Geometric Text and Figure: Scanpaths and Given-New Effects

An Eye-Tracking Study of Sketch Processing: Evidence From Russian

“…This result correlates with other studies of polycode texts that showed that the text zones receive more attention than the picture zones (Rayner et al, 2001;Petrova and Riekhakaynen, 2019). Lee and Wu (2017) have also shown that a picture or a geometric figure attracts less reader's attention than a text in the process of scanning math texts. Although the sketchnotes we analyzed represented three different types of information organization, we did not find any significant differences in the time of their processing and, the number of fixations, subjective evaluation, and the number of correct answers to the after-the-text questions.…”

An eye-Tracking Study of College Students’ Infographic-Reading Processes

“…H1-1 might be partially supported. Our results showed that infographic readers initially fixated on word areas, but we could not conclusively determine whether words directed their reading behavior because we did not continue to check whether the participants referred to the corresponding graph area before returning to the word area, as in previous research ( W. K. Lee & Wu, 2018). Nonetheless, this still indicates that adult readers might be inclined to employ words to grasp the essential meanings of almost all materials, including illustrated passages, wherein the words and graphs are separated, and infographics, wherein the words and graphs are highly synthesized.…”

Local Sequence Alignment for Scan Path Similarity Assessment

“…In the same context, Lee and Wu (2016) explored students' scan paths when reading geometric descriptions. They found the same results which imply that more than 80% of the students were text-directed [40]. In a problem solving task, the scan path of 40 students was recorded while solving simple algebraic equations in order to provide insight into how they rearrange them.…”
