Abstract—Research studies of eye movements for
comprehending underlying mechanism of visual attention and
perception have been inspiring. These studies are mandatory to
have knowledge of humans’ cognitive dynamics. We conducted
and analyzed eye tracking experiments to test the hypothesis
that the patterns generated during scene viewing were
primarily determined by analogical aspect of cognitive
processes. Eye movement data, in terms of heat maps, were
collected from participants who viewed artistic portraits during
active viewing. The patterns produced from eye tracking system
during scene viewing traced a sequence of similar elements of
the scene. This scientific investigation proved the hypothesis
that eye movements looked for analogical patterns during scene
viewing.
Index Terms—Eye movements, analogical patterns, cognitive
processes, scene viewing.
