Searching in clutter: Visual behavior and performance of expert action video game players
Searching for targets among distractors in visual scenes can be more difficult due to the presence of clutter.

| description | Searching for targets among distractors in visual scenes can be more difficult due to the presence of clutter. However, studies in various domains have shown differentiated effects according to the expertise of the searcher. The present study extended these findings to the domain of action video games expertise. 58 participants, split in 2 groups (action video game players and non-action video game players) searched for targets in visual scenes under two clutter conditions (uncluttered and high clutter). Reaction times and accuracy served as measures of performance, and the visual behavior was assessed using the number and duration of eye fixations. Our findings suggest that visual clutter has a negative influence on performance and alters the visual behavior during visual search in action video game scenes. Our results also suggest that expert action video game players might use different visual strategies to cope with clutter, leading however to no performance benefits.
•The relation between action video game expertise and visual clutter was examined.•Visual clutter has a negative influence on visual search performance.•Visual clutter alters the visual behavior during visual search.•Expert action video game players might use different visual strategies. |
