아이트래킹은 일반적인 유아와 자폐증을 보이는 유아 사이의 사회적 상호 작용과 시각적 주의력 차이를 사회적 맥락에서 이해하려는 연구에 사용됩니다. 자폐증의 초기 지표를 발견하여 조기 진단의 기초를 연구하고 진행을 늦추거나 방지하는 데에 그 목적을 두고 있습니다.
The diagnosis of autism depends on the judgments of symptoms listed in the diagnostic criteria. Gaze analysis is an additional tool for experts to use in the diagnosis process. In recent years, unobtrusive eye tracking systems without chin rests or movement-restricting headgear have become increasingly accurate. These advancements in technology have made collecting the gaze data of infants and young children as easy as studying adults.
Eye tracking is used in developmental psychology to explain infants' growth and transformation in cognitive, social and emotional abilities. At the Department of Psychology's Child and Baby Lab at Uppsala University in Sweden, Claes von Hofsten and his fellow researchers use eye tracking to measure development of infants' object representation and study the differences in social interactions in children with typical development and children with autism. 자세히 보기
