Gaze recording
We use a high-precision eye tracker to record gaze position while participants complete experimental tasks.
LAPELC² / RESEARCH / EYE TRACKING
Eye
tracking
We study patterns of gaze during reading, listening, and other cognitive tasks to investigate mental processes as they unfold.
01 / HOW IT WORKS
How it
work?
Data processing
Gaze data are processed to identify fixations, saccades, and visual exploration patterns, aligned with stimulus presentation.
Analysis and interpretation
We analyze gaze patterns to investigate attention, language processing, decision-making, and comprehension.
02 / RESEARCH APPLICATIONS
What can eye tracking contribute?
Language and reading
Processing words, sentences, and texts across contexts.
Perception and multimodality
Integration of language, vision, speech, and gesture.
Development and diverse populations
Studies with children, adults, and clinical populations.
03 / EXAMPLE TASKS
Examples
of tasks
Reading sentences and texts
Analyzing fixation patterns during reading.
Viewing images
Visual exploration of static or dynamic scenes.
Videos and social scenes
Attention to faces, gestures, and events.
Visual search and decision-making
Locating targets and comparing alternatives.
04 / INTEGRATION WITH OTHER MEASURES
Integration
with other
measures.
Eye tracking can be combined with behavioral and neurophysiological measures for a more comprehensive picture of cognitive processes involved in language.
