This past week I reread and edited my summary of the paper, Reading Without Words: Eye Movements in the Comprehension of Comic Strips. The goal of the paper was to investigate how disrupting the visual sequence of a comic strip would affect attention. The authors of the paper used eye-tracking data to determine visual attention. They found that disrupting the visual sequence of a comic strip slows down the viewer and makes comprehending the narrative more difficult.
The highlights of the paper that are worth pursuing for our study are the related work by Cohn 2013b, 2013c, and McCloud 1993 that analyze the comprehension of words in sentences and the correlation maps used to compare fixation locations between experiments. The correlation maps are interesting, because they are used as in technique to determine how similar the visual attention is of two different participants on two different panels. For our study it might be useful to determine how similar the visual attention is of two different participants on two different StackOverflow questions. Analyzing the comprehension of words/code in the StackOverflow question would also be useful to our study.
