在过去的十年里，选择任务中的鼠标跟踪已经成为心理科学中的一种流行方法。这种方法利用手部运动作为多个响应激活的测量，可以在数百毫秒内连续跟踪。虽然早期的鼠标跟踪研究集中在具体的辩论，研究人员已经意识到，该方法具有更广泛的理论价值。这项最近的工作表明，鼠标跟踪是一种广泛适用于该领域的措施，能够以告知理论的方式揭示实时决策的微观结构，包括其组成过程和毫秒分辨率的时间过程。在这篇文章中，鼠标跟踪方法的最新进展进行了描述，并提供了与黄金标准的反应时间和其他时间敏感的方法测量的比较。未来的方向，包括映射到神经表征与脑成像和方法，以提高我们的理论理解的鼠标跟踪方法，进行了讨论。
Over the past decade, mouse tracking in choice tasks has become a popular method across psychological science. This method exploits hand movements as a measure of multiple response activations that can be tracked continuously over hundreds of milliseconds. Whereas early mouse-tracking research focused on specific debates, researchers have realized that the methodology has far broader theoretical value. This more recent work demonstrates that mouse tracking is a widely applicable measure across the field, capable of exposing the microstructure of real-time decisions, including their component processes and millisecond-resolution time course, in ways that inform theory. In this article, recent advances in the mouse-tracking approach are described, and comparisons with the gold standard measure of reaction time and other temporally sensitive methodologies are provided. Future directions, including mapping to neural representations with brain imaging and ways to improve our theoretical understanding of mouse-tracking methodology, are discussed.
