Raw Eye-Tracking Data on Students' Familiarisation Strategies with a General-Reference Map

This dataset contains raw eye-tracking data collected during a study "Students’ strategies of familiarisation with a general-reference map of an unknown area" investigating how upper-secondary students familiarise themselves with a general-reference map of an unfamiliar area. The study involved 20 participants (aged 18–20), who were given 60 seconds to explore a specially prepared map using a screen-based eye tracker (SMI RED 250, 250 Hz).

The dataset includes number of fixations as well as fixation in predefined Areas of Interest (AOIs), such as the map face, legend, hypsometric tints, and the graphic scale. The data were exported from SMI BeGaze and converted using the SMI2OGAMA converter for further processing. Format: txt.
