Att utläsa räknestrategier från ögonrörelser
Sammanfattning: This study aims to investigate the information that can be collected about counting strategies when tracking a person’s eye-movements when he/she is doing a mental calculation on a given expression. Eye-tracking is based on the study of what a person look at and the eye-movements between fixations. This study relies on the eye-mind hypothesis which claims that there is a connection between eye movements and the cognitive processes. The result is based on data from two participants and three tasks. The tasks consisted of mathematical expressions with addition and subtraction that the participants solved with mental arithmetic. The data from eye-movements is of such quality that it is possible to see indications on which counting strategies the participants are using and the results are in-line with previous research. The data also show which number the participant focus most on and how they begin to solve the task. On one task both participant gave an incorrect answer and the eye-movement showed where the participants made a mistake. Using this sort of eye-tracking investigation has both its limitations and its possibilities.
