Thread is on Reading Measures.
- Single Fixation Duration – The duration of a fixation on a target region, provided that region is fixated one time
only, and that the one fixation does not occur after fixations
on words further along in the text.
Single Fixation Duration = IA_FIRST_FIXATION_DURATION, if IA_FIXATION_COUNT == 1 and IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE ==1
- First Fixation Duration – The duration of the first fixation on a target region, provided that the first fixation
does not occur after fixations on words further along in the text.
First Fixation Duration = IA_FIRST_FIXATION_DURATION , if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE ==1
- Gaze Duration – The total duration of all fixations in a target region until the eyes fixate a region of text that
is either progressive or regressive to the target region, provided that the first fixation on the target region
does not occur after any fixations on words further along in the text.
Note: This measure is typically referred to as “Gaze Duration” for one-word regions of text and “First-Pass Duration” for multi-word regions of text. For simplicity in this reading guide, this measure will be referred to as “Gaze Duration”, whether the region is one word in length or more than one word in length.
Gaze Duration (a.k.a. First-Pass Duration) = IA_FIRST_RUN_DWELL_TIME, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE == 1
- Right-Bounded Duration – The total duration of all fixations in a target region until the eyes fixate a region of
text that is progressive to the target region, provided that the first fixation on the target region does not
occur after any fixations on words further along in the text.
Note: This measure, as well as Regression Path Duration below, is sometimes referred to as Go-Past Duration. These two definitions of Go-Past Duration are distinguished here by calling one Right-Bounded Duration and the other Regression Path Duration.
Right-Bounded Duration (a.k.a Go-Past Duration) = IA_SELECTIVE_REGRESSION_PATH_DURATION, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE == 1
- Regression Path Duration – The total duration of all fixations that occur from the first fixation on a target
region until the target region is exited in a progressive manner (including fixations on the target region and
fixations on words regressive to the target region), provided that the first fixation on the target region does
not occur after any fixations on words further along in the text.
Note: This measure, as well as Right-Bounded Duration above, is sometimes referred to as Go-Past Duration. These two definitions of Go-Past Duration are distinguished here by calling one Right-Bounded Duration and the other Regression Path Duration.
Regression Path Duration (a.k.a. Go-Past Duration) = IA_REGRESSION_PATH_DURATION, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE==1
- Re-reading Duration – The difference between Regression Path Duration and Gaze Duration. This measure effectively
includes only fixations of Regression Path Duration that are not on the target region (i.e., only fixations that
are on words that are regressive relative to the target region).
Re-reading Duration= [IA_REGRESSION_PATH_DURATION, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE == 1] – [IA_FIRST_RUN_DWELL_TIME, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE == 1]
- Total Duration – The total duration of all fixations in a target
region.
Total Duration = IA_DWELL_TIME
- First-Pass Regression Ratio – The proportion of fixations following fixation on the target region that are
regressive relative to the target region (and not progressive), provided that 1) words further along in the text
have not yet been fixated (i.e., the region was not skipped during first-pass reading) and that 2) the target
region has not already been fixated and exited.
First-Pass Regression Ratio - check the frequency of IA_REGRESSION_OUT, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE==1
- First-Pass Fixation Ratio – The proportion of times that the target region is fixated before any progressive text
is fixated (as opposed to times when the target region is skipped during first-pass reading)
Note: [1 – (First-Pass Fixation Ratio)] is First-Pass Skipping Ratio.
First-Pass Fixation Ratio - check the proportion of IA_SKIP and subtract it from 1
- First-Pass Multi-Fixation Ratio – The proportion of times that the target region is fixated more than one
consecutive time before any other text that is progressive or regressive to the region is fixated, provided that
the target region is fixated at least once before any material progressive to the region is fixated (i.e.,
provided that the target region is not skipped during first-pass reading).
First-Pass Multi-Fixation Ratio - check the proportion of IA_FIRST_RUN_FIXATION_COUNT > 1, if IA_FIRST_FIX_PROGRESSIVE ==1
