摘要
Changes in mathematical representation are an essential part of many STEM fields, especially chemistry. In order to better understand these transitions between different representations, we investigated possible eye-tracking indicators of cognitive load during a task that had two experimental conditions: one was purely mathematical, the other one was similar, but had a chemical context. We used pupil diameter, fixation duration, and pupil fluctuations as measured through the IPA as indicators of cognitive load. Our preliminary results indicate that there may not be a significant difference in cognitive load between the two conditions, which in turn suggests that a chemical context does not impose additional cognitive load on participants. The present study may serve as a starting point to investigate this issue further and shed light on the potential influence of a chemical context on cognitive load.
