Subclaims¶

q2 i? Higher eye movement consistency (lower entropy) was associated with shorter latency of peak decoding accuracy in the high-alpha band. → Guoyang Liu 2025 q2 i? Eye movement consistency significantly contributed to high-alpha decoding peak latency after controlling for non-verbal IQ, explaining an additional 5.4% of variance. → Guoyang Liu 2025 (2)

Guoyang Liu, Yueyuan Zheng, Michelle Hei Lam Tsang, Yazhou Zhao & Janet H. Hsiao. (2025). Understanding the role of eye movement pattern and consistency during face recognition through EEG decoding. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-025-00316-3

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Correlation analysis in the 84-participant EEG study: decoding peak latency in the high-alpha band was positively correlated with eye movement entropy (r = 0.273, p < 0.05), so "higher eye movement consistency was associated with shorter latency of peak decoding accuracy".

"higher eye movement consistency was associated with shorter latency of peak decoding accuracy in the high-alpha band, which suggested more efficient neural representation development"

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Two-stage hierarchical multiple regression predicting high-alpha decoding peak latency. Non-verbal IQ entered first (9.3% of variance, B = 0.305, F(1, 82) = 8.38, p = 0.005); consistency added "an additional 5.4% of the variance in decoding latency" (B = 0.235, F(1, 81) = 5.150, p = 0.026).

"At the second stage, introducing eye movement consistency explained an additional 5.4% of the variance in decoding latency, and this change in R2 was significant, B = 0.235, F(1, 81) = 5.150, p = 0.026."
