Gaze cues and direct gaze attract visual attention. However, few studies have explored visual cues in children within realistic contexts. The effect of information and repetitive stimulus presentation has not been thoroughly studied with dynamic stimuli. The aim of the present study was to investigate how information affects the visual strategies of children measured by the number of fixations on certain areas of interest and their durations. Furthermore, this study examined the effect of gaze cues and direct gaze. In two consecutive experiments, children's visual strategies when viewing magic tricks were measured by an eye tracker. Gaze cues were only present in Experiment 1.The results showed that repetitive stimulus presentation and information caused children to change their visual strategies when viewing magic tricks with and without gaze cues. However, the effect was larger when the gaze cues were not present. These findings in children were similar to those in adults.
注视提示和直接注视会吸引视觉注意。然而,很少有研究在现实情境中探讨儿童的视觉线索。对于动态刺激,信息和重复刺激呈现的影响还没有得到彻底研究。本研究旨在通过注视点数量和注视时间等指标,研究信息如何影响儿童的视觉策略。此外,本研究还考察了注视提示和直接注视的影响。在两个连续的实验中,通过眼动仪测量了儿童在观看魔术表演时的视觉策略。注视提示仅在实验 1 中出现。结果表明,重复刺激呈现和信息会导致儿童在观看有或没有注视提示的魔术表演时改变其视觉策略。但是,当没有注视提示时,这种影响更大。这些在儿童身上的发现与在成人身上的发现相似。
