Episodic memory and scene perception, an eye-tracking experiment with induced cognitive load.
(2023) PSYP01 20231Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- This study investigates if cognitively induced load via the Sternberg Task influences episodic memory measured through eye metrics data. An eye-tracking experiment was conducted with 34 participants to research if memory will decline when cognitive load increases. The method was a block design, controlled experiment. The analysis consisted repeated measures ANOVAs. The first hypothesis that cognitive load impairs memory encoding was rejected. The second hypothesis that cognitive load will impair recognition of episodic memories was accepted. And the third hypothesis that cognitive load will lead to less similar scan paths was accepted.
Keywords: Episodic memory, Scanpath Similarity, cognitive load, scene perception, eye-tracking.
