Number Of Eye Fixations Research Articles

Attentional processes in overtraining.

The effects of overtraining were examined using two dependent variables, choice response and eye fixations. Although an overtraining reversal effect was nor found using choice-response, examinations of a number of eye fixations both before and after reversal suggest that the introduction of reversal training produces greater shifts in attention in the overtrained ( n = 6) as opposed to the criterion trained group ( n = 6). Results are interpreted as supporting a theory of discrimination learning which proposes that S is developing a plan in which inputs are tested or compared against some centrally organized process.
