Screen-based for the lab
For lab environments, our screen-based eye trackers,
Tobii Pro Spectrum and Tobii Pro Fusion, produce visual stimuli on a screen and work together with Tobii Pro Lab to deliver insights on study participant reactions.
Developmental psychology
Studying children with the help of eye tracking
Gaze is one of the first abilities infants develop, providing researchers with insight into the development process long before speaking begins.
Why use eye tracking?
Eye tracking is a non-invasive technology that can extract data about an infant's gaze behavior accurately and rapidly without instructions. It provides developmental researchers with a means to enter the child's mind and determine when capabilities emerge and how they develop over time.
What you can measure with eye tracking
Eye tracking solutions with a dedicated application, like our software
Tobii Pro Lab, can further process the data to draw valuable conclusions on a wide variety of developmental processes, including:
Visual perception
Discover how the brain’s ability to make sense of the world develops through infancy and childhood.
Motor development
Visually guided reaching behavior reveals the development of intentions, planning, and motivation to explore the world.
Language acquisition
Investigate the gaze patterns of infants and children when exposed to different linguistic stimuli, including spoken words or visual scenes.
Social cognition and interaction
Study the development of social skills by measuring infants’ attention to social stimuli and face processing.
Oculomotor function development
Understand oculomotor development by measuring object-tracking ability, gaze stability, and saccadic reaction time.
Atypical development
Differences in attentional processes and eye gaze patterns during social interaction can indicate developmental challenges, such as autism spectrum disorder or ADHD.
Areas of research
There are many ways to leverage eye tracking data in developmental research.
Shows how a child assesses facial expressions
Reveals their ability to apply understanding and recall
Discovers relevant processes in the first stages of life
Anticipatory eye movements reveal knowledge about structural or perceptual completion
Pupil dilation measures a child's arousal and violation of expectations
Helps to understand oculomotor development, such as object-tracking ability
