Future Directions for Eye Movement Research

Abstract

Abstract: It is argued that research on eye movements has now entered a fourth general era. Each of the four eras is briefly reviewed, and research findings related to eye movements during reading, scene perception, and visual search are discussed. Future directions for research in each of these areas and research in other domains involving eye movements are also discussed.

Key words: eye movements, reading, scene perception, visual search, information processing tasks
