Abstract

From human aspect, several cognitive factors can be determined by different measuring methods. The human visual attention and some hidden cognitive processes may be revealed and examined by Eye-tracking. Using the parameters of eye-tracking, human activity, the visual attention can be observed, so even emotional condition of the human can be concluded. Thus, a system based on eye-tracking can be used for studying cognitive processes like learning, problem solving also. In this article the results of an eye-tracking analysis is introduced. The eye-tracking data was registered during a test, problem solving related to an IT-problem. The results shows, that difference was observed in the analysis of eye-tracking, depending on the prior IT knowledge related to the problem. The results of eye-tracking may provide useful information for the effectiveness of problem solving related to the prior knowledge.
