Showing a model's eye movements in examples does not improve learning of problem-solving tasks

作者:

Highlights:

• Eye movement modeling examples (EMME) guide attention via the model's eye movements.

• Two experiments examined EMME's effectiveness for learning to solve procedural problems.

• Students learned to solve simple and complex geometry problems with or without EMME.

• With EMME, learners were indeed faster to fixate information the model verbally referred to.

• However, no performance benefits of attention guidance through EMME were revealed.
