Use cases
Developmental psychology
Eye tracking enhances the developmental study of infants, as well as children with short attention spans and limited instruction comprehension. The technology provides insights into the behavioral and cognitive processes long before speaking begins.
Developmental disorders
Developmental disorders
Eye tracking can aid in early screening and identification of developmental conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Differences in attentional processes and eye gaze patterns during social interaction can indicate developmental challenges, which can be assessed with eye tracking.

Insights into autism research with eye tracking
In this panel discussion, research experts from Stanford School of Medicine, Uppsala University, and Karolinska Institute shared their experiences with the unique insights eye tracking provides in the field of autism and answered audience questions.
Language acquisition
Language acquisition
Researchers employ eye tracking to investigate the gaze patterns of infants and children when exposed to different linguistic stimuli, including spoken words or visual scenes. The technology provides valuable insights into the cognitive processes associated with language acquisition, including visual attention, word recognition, and syntax comprehension.

“
The biggest finding of my work is that eye tracking can be used to define subtypes of autism and diagnose different subsets of kids with very high accuracy...Eye tracking is really telling us quite a bit, not only about diagnosis but also potentially about prognosis and outcomes.
“
We have spent a lot of time setting up different eye trackers to work with babies in our lab. Tobii eye trackers provide several advantages compared to other systems. They offer large freedom of head movement and non-intrusiveness, which is mandatory for baby testing. Calibration and recording is also much more straight-forward than anything else we have seen.

Social cognition and interaction
Social cognition and interaction
Eye tracking provides a means to study the emergence and progression of social cognition and interaction skills. Through eye tracking experiments, researchers can learn about infant attention to social stimuli, face processing, and social learning abilities. It helps researchers uncover critical developmental milestones and understand typical and atypical social development.
Eye tracking reveals insight into infants social information processing skills
In this presentation, Dr. Sheila Krogh-Jespersen presents evidence showing the development of social competence as revealed from the combination of eye-tracking and behavioral studies.
Eye tracking explains development of infants’ abilities
Eye tracking is used in developmental psychology to explain infants' growth and transformation in cognitive, social and emotional abilities.
Three scientific studies shed new light on early learning processes
