[Maths-Education] RE: eye tracking and mathematics

[Ernest, Paul]

I recall seeing presentations by Eric de Corte and Lieven Verschaffel from Belgium I think,  on use of eytracking in prob solving at PME in late 1980s (date from memory)

Best wishes

Paul

I've just completed a preliminary study using an eye tracker  in an attempt to correlate mathematical expertise and the amount of cognitive processing carried out.  Is anyone a aware of any studies involving the use of eye tracking and students reading/interpretation of mathematics, particularly algebraic problems?
