the eye movement paradigm

The eye movement paradigm is a research method used to study how people process information by tracking their eye movements. It involves monitoring where and how long individuals look at different parts of a visual scene or text. By analyzing these patterns, researchers gain insights into attention, perception, and cognition, such as how people read, make decisions, or recognize objects. This technique provides precise data on the timing and focus of visual attention, helping us understand underlying mental processes without relying on verbal responses.
