Eye-gaze strategies reveal cognitive variability in a real-world executive function task.

Key Points

• The research aims to explore how eye-gaze strategies during multitasking relate to cognitive performance using executive functions.
• Utilized eye-tracking technology to observe participants' gaze patterns during multitasking tasks.
• Integrated self-report and behavioral data to assess performance and strategy use.
• Analyzed process-level data to identify distinct cognitive strategies employed in real-world settings.
• Identified various gaze strategies that correlate with effectiveness in multitasking tasks.
• Demonstrated that traditional executive function assessments may not capture the full range of cognitive variability.
• Provided insights into how strategic approaches can influence performance in ecological contexts.
