Overview

Comparative eye-tracking study reveals distinct visual scanning patterns across academic backgrounds, highlighting opportunities to tailor interactive heritage displays for diverse audiences.

Key Points

Investigate the impact of academic background on visual attention distribution, gaze behavior, and cognitive expression when viewing heritage rural landscapes.
Conducted eye-tracking experiments paired with semi-structured interviews comparing landscape-trained and non-trained students viewing heritage scenery from Tianluokeng Village in Fujian, China.
Evaluated gaze behavior across five photographic stimulus categories: architectural, agricultural, natural, folk cultural, and tourism service landscapes.
Landscape-trained participants concentrated visual fixations on core compositional elements and acquired information more efficiently, whereas non-trained participants showed more dispersed scanning patterns.
Significant differences occurred in total fixation duration, number of fixations, and visit counts, with the non-trained group demonstrating higher fixation engagement and revisit frequency.
Cognitive expression in landscape-trained individuals focused on spatial structure and elemental relationships, while non-trained observers relied on overall impressions.
