Alfred Yarbus（1967）报道了观察者的眼动记录基于高水平任务而变化。他发现，观察者在自由视角下的眼动模式与接受任务时有很大不同，例如记住人们穿的衣服。此外，他的观察者观看了21分钟的画，光学茎连接到巩膜，他的头部受到严重限制。虽然眼球运动无疑会受到高水平任务的影响，但目前尚不清楚Yarbus的结果如何反映他独特的实验条件。由于雅布斯在文献中的作用，确定他的结果在多大程度上代表了更自然条件下天真观察者的样本是很重要的。我们复制了Yarbus的实验，使用了一个没有头部的眼动仪，有17个天真的观察者。演示文稿是自定进度的;观看时间通常比Yarbus规定的时间短一个数量级。眼球运动模式明显依赖于任务，但其中一些差异远不如雅布斯现在经典的观察结果所显示的那样引人注目。
Alfred Yarbus (1967) reported that an observer's eye movement record varied based on high-level task. He found that an observer's eye movement patterns during freeview were dramatically different than when given tasks such as oRemember the clothes worn by the people.o Although Yarbus' work is often cited to demonstrate the task-dependence of eye movements, it is often misrepresented; Yarbus reported results for only one observer, but authors commonly refer to Yarbus' oobserverso. Additionally, his observer viewed the painting for 21 minutes with optical stalks attached to the sclera and with his head severely restricted. Although eye movements are undoubtedly influenced by high-level tasks, it is not clear how Yarbus' results reflect his unique experimental conditions. Because of Yarbus' role in the literature, it is important to determine the extent to which his results represent a sample of naive observers under more natural conditions. We replicated Yarbus' experiment using a head-free eyetracker with 17 naive observers. The presentations were self-paced; viewing times were typically an order of magnitude shorter than the times Yarbus imposed. Eye movement patterns were clearly task dependent, but some of the differences were much less dramatic than those shown in Yarbus' now-classic observations.
