Analysis of Eye Tracking Parameters Measured During Perception of Illustrations in Task-solving Contexts

Abstract

This article describes a part of a eye-tracking study. Eye tracking is a collection of research methods and techniques used for the measurement and analysis of eyemovement which allow for the analysis of various aspects of human cognitive processes. The aim of the study was to acquire eye tracking parameters related to the memory processes of the subjects duringsolving a task which required the analysis of an illustration. Analysis of the research material gathered during the perception of the same illustration in two different task-solving situations in the article is presented. The results of the study clearly show that during the short amount of time needed for the analysis of two consecutive slides, the brain is capable of storing the image of the analyzed shape in the working memory.
