Eye Tracking Scenario (source -  https://imotions.com/blog/eye-tracking-work/ ) Since I joined ODU, I have been working with eye tracking data recorded when completing a Working Memory Capacity ( WMC ) measure to predict a diagnosis of  Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) . People with ADHD could be restless and hyperactive with distinct behavioral symptoms such as difficulty in paying attention and controlling impulsive behaviors. WM is a cognitive system, which makes it possible for human  to hold and manipulate information simultaneously. Greater WMC means greater ability to use attention to avoid distraction. Theoretically, adults with ADHD have reduced working memory when compared with their peers, demonstrating significant differences in WMC. Among many tasks ( O-Span , R-Span ,  N-Back ) to measure the WMC, the reading span task ( R-Span ) is used as a valid measure of working memory yielding a WMC score. In R-Span, participants are asked...
