Gaze behaviour and gait smoothness when navigating complex environments
Introduction. Many studies have shown how gaze and gait behaviour can be influenced by the presence of obstacles such as, static and dynamic objects and terrain changes. However, these studies utilise controlled and stable laboratory environments. During real-world navigation individuals will …

Exploring the acute affect of de-coupled batting drills on the gaze behaviour and decision-making of elite baseball players
… batters utilize context-specific information and gaze behaviour to aid decision-making and performance. However, typical practice and warm-up activities often lack relevant context-specific information and visual cues that exist in competition. This study’s purpose was to examine if drills varying …

What’s in a cognitive map? Action representations in the hippocampal-entorhinal system
… Nonetheless, relating these representations to behaviour, especially in non-spatial domains, has proven difficult. In this thesis, it will be argued that entorhinal representations of task structure integrate action information in support of flexible behaviour. Moreover, these representations …

NEUROPROFILES: NEUROdevelopment in PReschool children Of FIfe and Lothian Epilepsy Study
Neurobehavioural problems (i.e. cognitive impairment/behaviour problems) are common in childhood epilepsy. There are very limited data in children with early-onset epilepsy (CWEOE; onset ≤4 years). This study: (1) estimated the incidence of early-onset epilepsy, (2) described the spectrum and …

Eye Tracking: A Perceptual Interface for Content Based Image Retrieval
… are devised to explore the feasibility of an eye gaze driven search mechanism. The thesis first explores gaze behaviour on images possessing different levels of saliency. Eye behaviour was predominantly attracted by salient locations, but appears to also require frequent reference to non-salient …

Cognitive resources in audiovisual speech perception
… integration of auditory and visual speech, and gaze behaviour during audiovisual speech will also be addressed. The overall results of the experiments presented here suggest that the integration of auditory and visual speech information is quite robust to various attempts to modulate the …

An eye tracking exploration of cognitive reflection in consumer decision-making
… decision-making process as analyzed through gaze behaviour. - The aim of the first paper, “The role of numeracy, cognitive reflection and attentional patterns in commercial problem-solving” by Dorigoni, Polonio, Graffeo and Bonini, is to analyze the predictive power of two important cognitive …

Investigating age-related differences in visual sampling behaviour during adaptive locomotion and their consequences for stepping accuracy
… future constraints in their walking path. This gaze behaviour is associated with decreased stepping accuracy. The first aim of this thesis was to investigate a possible causal link between premature redirection of gaze from a target and reduced stepping accuracy. Results showed that when older …

Non-Verbal Behaviour of a VR Agent Playing a Board Game
… things, his personality and shows non-verbal behaviour such as looking at the user and showing impatience. The focus of this project is to increase the believability of the agent, by improving its non-verbal expression capabilities during a board-game. This was done by collecting and analysing …

Biases in Looking Behaviour during Visual Decision Making Tasks
… eye-tracking to investigate biases in looking behaviour during visual decision making tasks. In Experiment 1, participants viewed arrays of images of photographic art and decided which image was preferred (from a set of either two or eight alternatives). To analyze gaze behaviour during the …

The Use of Social Gaze Cues in Real World Scenes
… combined with our foveated vision, mean that gaze cues are both a means of understanding where attention is being allocated and a method for non-verbal communication. Previous attention research using gaze cues has focused on Posner-type paradigms that have supported a model of reflexive …

Age-related changes in memory for object locations across different perspectives.
… locations are remembered. In Chapter 2, gaze behaviour was recorded during a task in which young and older adults judged whether previously encoded objects have remained in the same position or were displaced following perspective shifts. Ageing was associated with declines in spatial …
