Eye tracking has taken hold in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingualism as a valuable technique for researching cognitive processes, yet a comprehensive picture of reporting practices is still lacking. Our systematic review addressed this gap. We synthesized 145 empirical eye‐tracking studies, coding for 58 reporting features and applying a gap analysis to the codings. Although certain aspects of reporting, such as descriptions of auxiliary assumptions, equipment, and setup, were consistently implemented, we found significant variation and sometimes complete omission of crucial details surrounding aspects of data quality and of data preprocessing and cleaning. This lack of information hinders the evaluation of methodological rigor and overall study quality of eye‐tracking research. We propose a set of field‐specific reporting guidelines in the form of a checklist to improve the quality of data collected and contribute to the larger goal of advancing the replication and reproducibility of eye‐tracking research in SLA and bilingualism.

报告第二语言习得和双语的眼动追踪研究：综合和特定领域指南


眼动追踪已在第二语言习得 (SLA) 和双语领域占据一席之地，成为研究认知过程的宝贵技术，但仍缺乏对报告实践的全面了解。我们的系统审查解决了这一差距。我们综合了 145 项经验性眼球追踪研究，对 58 个报告特征进行编码，并对编码应用差距分析。尽管报告的某些方面（例如辅助假设、设备和设置的描述）得到了一致实施，但我们发现围绕数据质量以及数据预处理和清理方面的关键细节存在显着变化，有时甚至完全遗漏。这种信息的缺乏阻碍了对眼动追踪研究的方法严谨性和整体研究质量的评估。我们以清单的形式提出了一套特定领域的报告指南，以提高收集的数据的质量，并有助于实现促进 SLA 和双语眼动追踪研究的复制和可重复性的更大目标。
