Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Using a noninvasive eye tracker, the investigators will measure how participants move their eyes to objects arrayed on a computer screen. Participants will be asked to find one element among many.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators measure how quickly and how accurately participants can move their eyes from a central fixation point to a target object arrayed with one or more distractor objects. A noninvasive eye tracker will be used to measure their eye movements. Participants may also be asked to make a decision about a feature of the target they have selected with a key press. Difficulty of the search for the target object and difficulty of the decision about a feature of the target object will be manipulated.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Participants are asked to view an array of objects on a computer screen equipped with a noninvasive eye tracker. They are asked to search for a target object among one or more distractor objects and may be asked to respond to a feature of the target object with a key press that was selected via a gaze shift.
Primary Study Purpose

BASIC_SCIENCE

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Manipulation is within-participant. Participants view multiple visual search arrays in an experimental session. They will be masked with regards to the difficulty and timing manipulations until they experience them on a trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Within Subjects Experimental Design

All participants are tested in all conditions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Target and Stimulus

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The investigators manipulate the difficulty of search for the target object by manipulating the number of distractor objects and/or the similarity between the target and distractors. The investigators manipulate the difficulty of the decision about a feature by manipulating the similarity of the feature to a criterion. The investigators manipulate the timing of when the decision feature appears on the object relative to the onset of the array and/or the onset of the saccade away from fixation in a gaze-contingent manner.

Target and Stimulus

The investigators manipulate the difficulty of search for the target object by manipulating the number of distractor objects and/or the similarity between the target and distractors. The investigators manipulate the difficulty of the decision about a feature by manipulating the similarity of the feature to a criterion. The investigators manipulate the timing of when the decision feature appears on the object relative to the onset of the array and/or the onset of the saccade away from fixation in a gaze-contingent manner.
