Paradigma do Mundo Visual: Método de Rastreamento Ocular

Abstract

This paper aims to present some methodological criteria to be observed in experiments with the eye tracking method of the visual world paradigm (VWP). This experimental paradigm is an online method of linguistic processing through the simultaneous presentation of auditory and visual stimuli to participants whose temporal measurements of saccades and fixations of eye movements are captured from the eye tracker. For that, it is essential to revisit the previous literature and pay attention to some precautions in the elaboration and recording of sentences (auditory stimuli), as well as in the making of images (visual stimuli). We consider that paying attention to these criteria can help the researcher to avoid rework and provide greater reliability to the results of the experiment. However, the decision on which criterion to follow depends on the objectives and the object of study of each investigation.
