Learning through the Eyes of the Beholder: Using Eye Tracking to Understand How Novices Learn Neuroanatomy

Introduction Despite student reports of high difficulty and neurophobia, there remains little examination in the literature on what makes neuroanatomy challenging. A preliminary study found that increased grey‐to‐white matter stain contrast marginally improves learning in students with low working memory capacities (WMC) but not those with high WMC. Why this augmentation is beneficial to some but not all students is unknown. Further, evidence …
