Goal-Guided Learning from Text: Inferring a Descriptive Processing Model from Inspection Times and Eye Movements.
Rothkopf, E. Z.; Billington, M. J.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n3 p310-27 Jun 1979
High school students studied a passage to achieve prememorized goals in three experiments. Inspection times and eye movements were recorded in goal-relevant and nonrelevant text neighborhoods. Goal-relevant sentences resulted in twice as many fixations. Qualitative differences were observed in style of subjects' responses to task demands. (Author/RD)
