“…We calculated Pearson correlations between the difference in pupil area and the difference in fixation duration and gaze dispersion, but no significant correlation was found (fixation duration: r = 0.103, p = 0.647; gaze dispersion: r = -0.256, p = 0.250), perhaps suggesting somewhat independent processes. Finally, the SNR effect (-2 dB minus +8 dB SNR) for behavioral performance did not correlate with the SNR effect for pupil area, fixation duration, nor gaze dispersion (fixation duration: r = -0.005, p = 0.822; gaze dispersion: r = -0.202, p = 0.368; pupil area: r = 0.377, p = 0.084), suggesting effort measures and behavioral performance dissociate to some extent (in line with Koelewijn et al, 2018;Carolan et al, 2022).…”
