Correlation between cognitive processing and ocular motility.

The simultaneous and sequential cognitive processing model is useful in explaining the information processing strategies used by individuals for academic and other purposes. Simultaneous processing refers to handling of information in a holistic fashion with a strong visuospatial bias. Sequential or successive processing involves information handled in a linear, serial fashion with a strong temporal bias. There is no hierarchy of the cognitive processing systems. In this study it was found that sequential processing correlates with saccadic fixation and simultaneous processing correlates with self-generated ocular pursuits.
