Subclaims¶

q2 i? An indicator of joint visual attention correlates with collaboration quality in a co-located tangible task. → Cress 2018 q2 i? Unbalanced participation in visual attention is negatively correlated with dyads' learning gains, so high joint attention can occur in ineffective free-rider dyads. → Cress 2018

q2 · i? · review · r2

In the editorial's summary of Schneider et al.'s TinkerLamp study, dyads used mobile eye trackers and cross-recurrence graphs during a tangible warehouse-layout task; the indicator of joint visual interaction "correlates with collaboration quality" and unbalanced visual participation was negatively correlated with learning gains.

"So, joint visual attention may be high also in highly coordinated – but ultimately ineffective groups – where one person takes on a visual leadership, and the other just follows and behaves like a free-rider."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Visual Processing — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
