B) Average trial duration in the scene recognition task (N=16). C) Average reported subjective rating in the scene recognition task (N=16). D) Average search duration in the visual search task (N=15). E) Average reported subjective rating in the visual search task (N=15). *p<0.0167; **p<0.003; ***p<0.0003. (panels A and E: Wilcoxon signed-rank test; panels B,C and D: Pairedsamples t-test) . Exp 2 - Visual search The results of the visual search task are displayed inFigure6.6(panels d and e). Search durations were significantly lower in the gaze-contingent processing condition compared to the gaze-locked control condition (27 versus 16 seconds on average, respectively, p<0.001), and the subjective ratings were significantly higher by more than 1 point (p<0.001). No significant difference in search duration was found between the gaze-ignored and the gaze-contingent condition. However, the gaze-ignored control condition was characterized by significantly lower search durations compared to the gaze-locked condition (p<0.001). Furthermore, subjective ratings were significantly higher in the gaze-ignored condition compared to the gaze-contingent and gaze-locked study conditions(p=0.0017 and p<0.001, respectively). 6.3.2. Secondary outcomes Gaze analysis Figure6.7displays several example gaze trajectories from Experiment 2. In the visualized trials it can be observed that the gaze-contingent and the gaze-locked study conditions were characterized by a larger spread compared to gaze-ignored vision. Averaged over
