Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies have demonstrated that task‐evoked pupillary responses (TEPRs) can be adopted to measure the examinee's cognitive load. This study compared three approaches for the measurement of TEPRs, mean pupil diameter, mean pupil dilation, and mean percentage of pupil dilation, to determine the best‐fit measuring method. The valid participants of this study were eight sixth‐grade elementary students. The experimental materials used were two mathematics questions with differing difficulty. The generalized estimating equation (GEE) was employed to compare the goodness of fit of each approach. The results revealed that the measurement of TEPRs based on the mean percentage of pupil dilation measured every 4 s provided the best fit.

瞳孔扩张作为考生答题认知负荷的指标:不同方法的比较研究

研究表明，任务诱发瞳孔反应(tepr)可以用来衡量考生的认知负荷。本研究比较了三种测量tepr的方法，即平均瞳孔直径、平均瞳孔扩张和平均瞳孔扩张百分比，以确定最适合的测量方法。本研究的有效被试为八名六年级小学生。实验材料是两道难度不同的数学题。采用广义估计方程(GEE)比较各方法的拟合优度。结果表明，基于每4 s测量瞳孔扩张的平均百分比的tepr测量是最合适的。
