Advancing our understanding and assessment of cognitive effort in the cognitive fit theory and data visualization context: Eye tracking-based approach

作者：

Highlights：

• We highlight the need in CFT research to focus on advancing our more direct assessment and measurement of cognitive effort

• Eye fixation-based metrics can be useful in advancing our understanding of cognitive fit and its cognitive effort mechanism

• In all tasks except the complex-symbolic task, users experience change in cognitive effort based on cognitive fit

• Physiological indicators can provide insights that may be missed if using only perceptual measures of cognitive effort
