Functional perspectives in mental jigsaw puzzles: Insights from eye-tracking, questionnaire, and behavioral data

Functional differences in cognitive strategies.
Task differences at rotation-side levels (A) for dwell time ratio across angles and (B) for the proportion of positive responses in subjective matching/fitting direction. (A) Eye-tracking dwell time ratio (DTR) is the ratio of dwell time within an AOI on the rotation side to that within both AOIs combined. Values above 0.5 indicate more time spent fixating on the rotation side, associated with rotated U-type objects in the fitting task (FT) and T-type objects in the matching task (MT). (B) Questionnaire results show significant associations between Direction and Task on both rotation sides. The present study refers to indented object as ‘U-type’ and protruding object as ‘T-type.’ In FT, participants tended to match or fit T-type objects leftward toward U-type objects rotated on the left, and rightward toward those rotated on the right. ns: p ≥ .05, * p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
