Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Automated eye tracking offers unique advantages for studying infant populations.
  • A comprehensive overview of the field's current state and trends has been lacking.
  • This gap leaves the field without guidance on critical aspects like WEIRDness, statistical power, and replication.

Observation:

  • A systematic review analyzed 793 peer-reviewed articles on automated eye tracking in infants (0-2 years).
  • Data extracted included publication dates, author affiliations, keywords, and sample sizes.
  • Trends in methodology, population focus, and research topics were identified.

Findings:

  • The use of automated eye tracking in infant research is increasing.
  • Associated sample sizes are growing, suggesting improved accessibility.
  • Research predominantly focuses on WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) populations.
  • Dominant research topics include methods, language, attention, autism, and face processing.

Implications:

  • The field's current focus leaves numerous research areas understudied.
  • There is significant potential for future infant eye tracking research.
  • Addressing WEIRDness and replication issues is crucial for advancing the field.
