Eye tracking offers valuable insights into the cognitive processes involved in language comprehension, production, and learning. Researchers use it to uncover the nuances of how individuals process linguistic information in real-time.
The main advantage of eye tracking is that it doesn’t require children to do or say anything explicit. Eye tracking enables us to see if they are visually engaging with things that indicate understanding.

Tracking eye movement helps understand language and written text processing across multiple levels of analysis within the sentence: character, syllable, word, phrase, or sentence. The use of eye tracking can uncover atypical reading patterns or reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, offering the potential for objective, non-invasive assessments and early intervention strategies.

To further explore how language acquisition relates to emotional state, Dr. Vivien Outters, with her colleagues in Göttingen and Oxford University, conducted a word-learning recognition experiment with 3-year-old children.
New York University’s Learn Lab uses eye tracking to study the learning mechanisms underlying language acquisition in children who are typically developing as well as children on the autism spectrum.
Using eye tracking to investigate children with and without reading disorder during reading acquisition. In the talk, a longitudinal study on reading acquisition and eye movements will be presented.
Eye tracking can be a great tool to gain insights into learning behavior, cognitive load, and engagement with educational materials. The results help effectively design, evaluate, and improve educational materials and learning situations.

Close to eight million people in Germany struggle with reading, and as one of the peak bodies for promoting literacy, Stiftung Lesen (German Reading Foundation) wants to change that. As part of its activities, the organization conducts research into the behaviors and reading habits of young people and adults.
In this talk, Dr. Catrysse gives an overview on how eye tracking can be used in order to examine students’ task-specific processing strategies in relation to learning from verbal material (i.e., words, paragraphs and texts).
