Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
In recent decades, eye-tracking devices have become the widely used experimental tools to discover information acquisition strategies while human making decisions. However, the relevant metrics and measurements did not keep pace with devices' improvements. Here, two metrics and their associated analytic methods that aim to capture the nature hidden in the eye movement sequences will be introduced. First, String Edit Distance (SED) will be used to assess the relative (dis)similarity between two different eye-tracking sequences, and reveal human behaviors patterns under different conditions. Second, the usage of Lag Sequential Analysis (LSA) will be proposed, which has the potential to describe the dynamic nature underlying such information acquisition eye movement data. To accomplish this goal, two associated metrics for LSA will be presented, the highest order of LSA, as well as its' stationarity, which indicate whether the dynamic nature was consistent across the whole time course.
