Understanding cognitive workload has become a vital topic for researchers in developing future systems. Existing research has investigated the use of physiological measurements of the eye with cognitive workload, though a quantitative synthesis has yet to be performed. A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effects of cognitive workload on eye-related measurements. The objective of this meta-analysis is not to determine a difference between the levels of workload, but to identify reliable measurements. Measurements through blinks, saccades, pupils, and fixations were examined. Twenty-two studies, contributing to a total of sixty entries, met the appropriate inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Findings conclude the use of specific eye-related measurements as a reliable assessment of cognitive workload. Similar results obtained for moderator variables of task type and eye-tracking system did not indicate significant influences. Further research should be conducted in this domain to identify causal influences and provide an understanding for the results.
