A method for quantifying focused versus overview behavior in AOI sequences

Behav Res Methods. 2011 Dec;43(4):987-98. doi: 10.3758/s13428-011-0104-x.

Abstract

We present a new measure for evaluating focused versus overview eye movement behavior in a stimulus divided by areas of interest. The measure can be used for overall data, as well as data over time. Using data from an ongoing project with mathematical problem solving, we describe how to calculate the measure and how to carry out a statistical evaluation of the results.
