Have you ever wondered how researchers measure visual attention? 👀 There are many ways to do this! Grad student Riley Bonar and Honours sstudent Emily Schreiner give us a #BTS look at one kind of visual attention task: the ✨ dot-probe ✨. We use this in our DETECT study! 😊 Using an eye-tracker, we can measure people’s eye movements as they look around a screen. This gives us an idea of the kinds of things that draw people’s attention in their environment. ❗
