Limitations on the Use of Eye-Tracking Data to Understand Operator Awareness (2023)
Safety events in commercial aviation have implicated failures of attention and awareness, and the need for improved attention and awareness has pushed trainers toward eyetracking systems as a primary tool for evaluating monitoring performance. Further, in the last 15 years, eye-tracking technology has become easier to acquire and use in operationally realistic settings. Although we believe that eye-tracking can be a useful evaluation tool, this paper describes basic limitations on relying on eye-tracking as the sole means for evaluating attention and awareness. A set of other measures are offered that can better identify where performance breakdowns occur.
