Description: Attention allocation is a cognitive task that is highly used in our everyday lives. This experiment investigates our ability to unequally allocate our attention in a multiple object tracking task (MOT) that does not require identity-location bindings to be formed. This experiment monitors and records the eye movements of participants with the use of an eye tracker, to investigate whether goal-driven unequal attention allocation is mediated by equivalent eye movement patterns. This experiment aims to test the influence of probed screen priority presentation on attention allocation in a multiple object tracking task, while also recording eye movements of participants. Three different levels of probed screen priority presentation are manipulated (i.e. low, equal, high) while degree of angular error and duration of eye gaze are measured.
