TUES Type I: Eye Trackers for Behavioral Science at Macalester and Augsburg Colleges

在两个机构的实验室中增加了眼球追踪器，将这种类型的仪器引入了广泛的心理学课程、与班级相关的实验室部分和教员研究。该项目向广大本科生和教职员工展示了心理学、语言学、生物神经科学和计算机科学五个领域的最先进的眼动研究技术。基于视频的眼球跟踪器的最新发展正在彻底改变研究人员的能力，即准确地确定参与者的视线位置，作为研究人类认知过程的一种手段。随着眼球跟踪技术不断变得更强大、更便携、更实惠，它已经成为心理科学的标准工具。Macalester学院和Augsburg学院之间的合作覆盖了不同的学生群体，并为教职员工提供了另一个方法论工具，将眼动研究技术整合到正在进行的课程和实验室中。通过教师加强活动，该项目鼓励在其他邻近机构的同事之间进行跨学科研究，并通过以博物馆为基础的外联活动向公众介绍眼动科学。随着眼球跟踪研究在行为科学中变得越来越普遍，掌握这种方法的学生和教职员工成为眼动研究和教育活动的更知情的消费者和生产者。

The addition of eye trackers into laboratories at two institutions introduces this type of instrumentation into a broad range of psychology courses, class-associated laboratory sections, and faculty research. The project exposes a wide range of undergraduate students and faculty to state-of-the-art eye movement research techniques in five areas of psychology, linguistics, biological neuroscience, and computer science. Recent developments in video-based eye trackers are revolutionizing the ability of researchers to precisely determine where a participant is looking as a means to investigate aspects of human cognitive processing. As eye tracking technology continues to become more powerful, portable, and affordable, it has become a standard instrument for psychological science. The collaboration between Macalester College and Augsburg College reaches a diverse student population and provides another tool in the methodological arsenals available to faculty to integrate eye movement research techniques into on-going courses and laboratories. Through faculty enhancement activities, the project encourages interdisciplinary research among colleagues at other neighboring institutions along with introducing the public to eye movement science through museum-based outreach activities. As eye tracking research becomes more common in behavioral science, students and faculty mastering the methodology become more informed consumers and producers of eye movement research and educational activities.
