We have two eye tracking systems in our laboratory:

Stationary - Senso Motoric Instrument (SMI) RED-M remote eye-tracker. This system allows free-head movements with a sampling rate of 250 Hz, high accuracy of 0.5 °. (Senso Motoric Instruments, Teltow, Germany).

Mobile - Senso Motoric Instrument (SMI) RED-M remote eye-tracker. This system allows free-head movements with a sampling rate of 120 Hz, (Senso Motoric Instruments, Teltow, Germany).

Hardware and accompanying software in our laboratory are now integrated into memory context studies as well as skill learning studies. Eye tracking provides us with information regarding the attention directed to stimuli presented. Sophisticated computerized programs allow us to analyze the underlying cognitive processes, independent of verbal reports.
