Head-Mounted Eye-Tracking with Children: Visual Guidance of Motor Action Karen E. Adolph1, John M. Franchak1, Daryaneh Badaly1, Michael T. Smith1, & Jason S. Babcock2 Department of Psychology, New York University, 2Positive Science, LLC

Summary

Visual-Manual Control

• Children searched through an obstacle course to find hidden stars. • Every step taken up onto, down from, and over an obstacle was scored. • Coded if and when children fixated the obstacle in the 5 s prior to stepping.

Visual-Motor Lag (ms)

• Children fixated obstacles on only 62.5% of all steps. • The obstacle was fixated at the moment of footfall during 1 of 172 recorded steps (0.6%). Visual-motor Lag (steps)

Fixation Duration (ms)

• Six 4- to 8- year-olds (M=7.1, SD=1.3) • Completed two tasks: – Visual-Manual Control: Arranged a table place setting to match a model. – Locomotor Guidance: Walked/ran/ climbed through an obstacle course to find hidden stars.

Apparatus

Locomotor Guidance

• Children walked back and forth repeatedly across a cluttered room selecting items from an assortment of cups, bowls, plates, placemats, napkins, and utensils. • The target and duration of eye and manual movements were coded during 3 s intervals prior to and following object contact.

ap

• Vision is used to plan and guide motor actions. • Previous work with head-mounted eye-tracking shows that adults’ eye fixations in everyday tasks are directed toward task-relevant locations (Land et al., 1999; Hayhoe et al., 2003). • In the current study, we assessed children’s eye movements during visual-manual and locomotor tasks. • Children relied heavily on foveal vision while reaching for objects, but not while stepping over obstacles.
