Subclaims¶

q3 i? Fixation duration on the secondary AOI (gaze-based M = 1.08s vs. baseline M = 1.02s) showed no statistically significant difference between conditions. → Zekun Wu 2026 q3 i? Time to first fixation on the secondary AOI did not differ significantly between conditions (gaze-based M = 6.65s vs. baseline M = 5.65s). → Zekun Wu 2026 (2)

Evidence¶

Zekun Wu 2026¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Within-subject gaze analysis restricted to instances where children fixated the secondary AOI. Even the most attentive children did not exceed 3.5 s; "this difference was not statistically significant (𝑝>. 05)"; equivalence was not tested.

"For fixation duration on the secondary AOI (Figure 7a), children spent only a short time looking at the region in both conditions, with a mean fixation duration of 𝑀= 1.08s (𝑆𝐷= 0.90) in the gaze-based condition and 𝑀= 1.02s (𝑆𝐷= 1.13) in the baseline condition; this difference was not statistically significant (𝑝>. 05)."

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Same study, latency measure from the onset of the secondary AOI's verbal mention to the first fixation on it. Children generally needed substantial time to locate the referenced region; "no significant difference between conditions (𝑝>.05)".

"Time to first fixation was𝑀= 6.65s (𝑆𝐷= 2.26) in the gaze-based condition and 𝑀= 5.65s (𝑆𝐷= 4.26) in the baseline condition, with no significant difference between conditions (𝑝>.05)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Attention — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Most children and parents preferred gaze-based assistance over the LLM baseline — related
• Gaze-based assistance produced a significantly higher follow-up fixation rate on the spoken secondary AOI than the baseline — related
• Gaze-based assistance led children to fixate the narrated primary AOI significantly longer than LLM-baseline assistance — related
• Gaze-based assistance supported a smoother attention transition between narrated regions, while baseline assistance elicited more abrupt reorientation — related
• Large arrays exceed young children's attentional resources, preventing optimal allocation to relevant items — related
• In offline validation, combined relevance-based secondary-AOI selection matched children's next attended AOI more often than random or single-distance selection — related
• Follow-up fixation rate on the primary AOI did not differ significantly between gaze-based and baseline assistance — related
