Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? 15 of 22 children preferred the gaze-based condition, 4 preferred the baseline, and 3 reported no preference. → Zekun Wu 2026
q3 i? 15 of 16 parents preferred the gaze-based version, most commonly because it better reflected the child's current interest. → Zekun Wu 2026 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Post-study interviews coded with descriptive coding and exploratory thematic analysis. Common reasons were better alignment with children's interests (8 mentions) and greater sense of control (4 mentions); counts only, no effect size.
"15 of 22 children chose the gaze-based condition, 4 chose the baseline condition, and 3 reported no preference."

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Parent interviews after the within-subject sessions. The only parent preferring the baseline raised privacy and security concerns related to eye tracking; counts only, no effect size.
"Fifteen of the 16 parents preferred the gaze-based version over the baseline version."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Gaze-based assistance led children to fixate the narrated primary AOI significantly longer than LLM-baseline assistance — related
- Follow-up fixation rate on the primary AOI did not differ significantly between gaze-based and baseline assistance — related
- Gaze-based assistance produced a significantly higher follow-up fixation rate on the spoken secondary AOI than the baseline — related
- Attention allocated to the secondary AOI remained limited and did not differ significantly between conditions in duration or time to first fixation — related
- Gaze-based assistance supported a smoother attention transition between narrated regions, while baseline assistance elicited more abrupt reorientation — related
