Question

Eye-tracking studies investigating attention as we carry out actions such as making a peanut butter sandwich shows that a person's eye movements ____.

a. usually followed a motor action by a fraction of a second
b. was influenced by unusual objects placed in the scene
c. were determined primarily by the task continually scanned all objects and areas of the scene

Answer 1

The correct option is C: were determined primarily by the task.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are unaware of a situation that might be threatening to the eyes, the eye movement follows a motor action by a fraction of a second. However, when you are accomplishing a task, especially one that you are focused on, like making a peanut butter sandwich, the movement of the eye is influenced by the task being carried out.
