Eye tracking insights in training and assessment Q3 2024

Eye tracking technology has significantly enhanced research in training and assessment, providing objective insights into hazard identification, nontechnical skills, and attention management. In construction safety, eye tracking helped tailor training to individual learning styles, while in trauma simulations, it offered unbiased evaluations of leadership skills. Additionally, it revealed expert attention strategies in manufacturing, highlighting its role in understanding adaptive behaviors.

Enhancing experiential learning through virtual reality: System design and a case study in additive manufacturing

September 29, 2024Rafia Rahman Rafa, Taufiq Rahman, Md Humaun Kobir, Yiran Yang & Shuchisnigdha Deb

The recent advancement in additive manufacturing (AM) leads to an extensive need for an industrial workforce in the near future. Workforce training in AM requires expensive capital investment for installing and maintaining this technology and proper knowledge about potential safety hazards. Traditional classroom settings often fail to bridge the critical gap between textbook learning and practical applications. Virtual reality (VR) training can simulate real-world scenarios in a safe and controlled environment and improve student involvement to foster pr...

Examining gaze behavior in undergraduate students and educators during the evaluation of tooth preparation: an eye-tracking study

September 20, 2024Frédéric Silvestri, Nabil Odisho, Abhishek Kumar & Anastasios Grigoriadis

Gaze behavior can serve as an objective tool in undergraduate pre-clinical dental education, helping to identify key areas of interest and common pitfalls in the routine evaluation of tooth preparations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the gaze behavior of undergraduate dental students and dental educators while evaluating a single crown tooth preparation.

Predicting Basketball Shot Outcome From Visuomotor Control Data Using Explainable Machine Learning

September 8, 2024Nikki Aitcheson-Huehn, Ryan MacPherson, Derek Panchuk & Adam W. Kiefer

Quiet eye (QE), the visual fixation on a target before initiation of a critical action, is associated with improved performance. While QE is trainable, it is unclear whether QE can directly predict performance, which has implications for training interventions. This study predicted basketball shot outcome (make or miss) from visuomotor control variables using a decision tree classification approach. Twelve basketball athletes completed 200 shots from six on-court locations while wearing mobile eye-tracking glasses. Training and testing data sets were use...

Effects of construction workers’ safety knowledge on hazard-identification performance via eye-movement modeling examples training

August 27, 2024Hanliang Fu, Yubing Tan, Zhongjing Xia, Kailun Feng & Xiaotong Guo

Most accidents in the construction industry are caused by a large proportion of hazards that remain unrecognized; this hazard-identification failure can be traced back to inadequate safety knowledge and ineffective education methods. Eye-movement modeling examples (EMMEs) show an expert’s gaze replays in the hazard-identification process with verbal explanations. Thus, with the fundamental objective of measuring the impacts of tacit and explicit safety knowledge on construction workers’ hazard-identification performance, this study demonstrated the moder...

Hazard identification performance comparison between virtual reality and traditional construction safety training modes for different learning style individuals

August 20, 2024Xiaotong Guo, Yujie Liu, Yubing Tan, Zhongjing Xia & Hanliang Fu

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries worldwide, with many workers involved in accidents annually. The main cause of accidents is that hazards are not recognised, making safety training vital. Virtual reality (VR) technology offers a new approach to construction safety training. Therefore, exploring the hazard identification performance of individuals with different learning styles is what highlights our innovation in matching different training styles to different individuals. This study evaluates the performance of individua...

Nontechnical Skills Assessment in Acute Care Trauma Simulations: A Mixed Methods Approach Using Eye Tracking and Behavioral Marker Systems

August 20, 2024Nicholas E Anton, Marian Obuseh, Chiho Lim, Haozhi Chen, Jing Yang, Dimitrios Stefanidis & Denny Yu

The condition of trauma patients and the urgent need for timely resuscitation present unique challenges to trauma teams. These difficulties are exacerbated for military trauma teams in combat environments. Consequently, there is a need for continued improvement of nontechnical skills (NTS) training for trauma teams. However, current approaches to NTS assessment rely on subjective ratings, which can introduce bias. Accordingly, objective methods of NTS evaluation are needed. Eye-tracking (ET) methods have been applied to studying communication, situation ...

Analyzing resilient attention management of expert operators using functional resonance analysis method

July 7, 2024Naruki Yasue & Tetsuo Sawaragi

Manufacturing worksites have developed to have a socio-technical aspect with complex interactions between human operators, automated machines, and the environment. The operators must adapt to and cope with daily performance variabilities in these socio-technical systems to maintain resilient productions. However, more than conventional methods are needed to clarify the operators’ adaptive aspects that interactive factors play a critical role. This study investigates attention management in multitasking as one crucial aspect of the adaptive behavior of ma...
