Abstract
[The human eye plays an essential role in information acquisition from external world, and much of our contemporary information technology relies on visual processing. The eye-mind hypothesis suggests that human attention is connected to where our eyes are looking (Just and Carpenter 1980). Taken together with the continual movement of our eyes and the limited area of high-acuity human vision, eye-tracking methods are considered to offer theoretically reliable measures of visual attention and search task activities. We first briefly review cognitive factors of interest to information search and the “traditional” methods of their measurement. We then present examples of eye tracking tools and how they capture data before examining how eye-tracking data has been used to assess select cognitive factors in information search.]
