DYNAMICS OF SACCADES AND FIXATIONS AS A REFLECTION OF THE PROCESS OF EPISTEMIC EVALUATION
The article is dedicated to identifying the features of eye movements when reading unfamiliar words for studying the formation of epistemic evaluation. It was suggested that the analysis of eye movements when a person is introduced to new information (new terms) can be used to determine whether the search for connections is an essential element in the process of formation of epistemic evaluation of information. The sample consisted of 20 students who read texts in their native (Russian) language. It was revealed that the speed of saccades decreased, and the duration of fixations increased while reading an unknown word, which can be considered as a psychophysiological marker of epistemic evaluation. Thus, eye movement patterns during acquaintance with a new term can be an indicator of epistemic evaluation formation.
