from Part IV - Behavioral Measures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 December 2024
This chapter describes the use of eyetracking as an advanced research tool in the social and behavioral sciences. It covers the correlation of eye movements to behavior, the basic anatomy of the eye and its movements, and different kinds of eyetrackers that can be used to capture a range of behaviors. It also explains how one should select an eyetracker, and how to obtain good-quality data. Data quality always affects the final result, and this chapter explains how the accuracy and precision of gaze data affect behavioral analysis along with giving examples about the real-life application of eyetracking in social and behavioral research. The potential of eyetracking as a technology is vast, providing a window to the visual perception which is likely to make eyetracking a very important tool in the years to come.
