The research question

Where does the learner direct attention, how long can it be sustained, and at what moments does attention begin to break down?

Learning Attention Assessment measures the distribution and persistence of attention across educational experiences. Screen-based eye tracking is used for digital material, while Eye Tracking Glasses can assess sustained attention in real classrooms or when testing a new teaching methodology. Persistent atypical attention patterns can generate a non-diagnostic alert for a separate specialist study.

ParticipantsStudents or learners segmented by age, grade, performance or another study-defined profile.

Typical protocol · Education

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the learning experience, participant profiles and critical content segments.

02

Use Eye Tracking Bar for screen-based material or Eye Tracking Glasses for classroom / methodology evaluation.

03

Measure time to first fixation, dwell time, fixation duration, revisits, scanpath and ignored zones.

04

Identify attention-loss points, distractors, disengagement moments and attention differences between content segments.

05

Compare learner profiles and issue only a non-diagnostic atypical-attention alert when persistent patterns justify a deeper specialist study.

Industry references / comparable applications

Who has used comparable research approaches?

Publicly documented examples from companies and institutions worldwide. These organizations are not presented as Neuro Garage clients, and the examples do not imply they purchased this exact Neuro Garage protocol.

Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
