Process models are crucial artifacts in many domains, and hence, their proper comprehension is of importance. Process models mediate a plethora of aspects that are needed to be comprehended correctly. Novices especially face difficulties in the comprehension of process models, since the correct comprehension of such models requires process modeling expertise and visual observation capabilities to interpret these models correctly. Research from other domains demonstrated that the visual observation capabilities of experts can be conveyed to novices. In order to evaluate the latter in the context of process model comprehension, this paper presents the results from ongoing research, in which gaze data from experts are used as Eye Movement Modeling Examples (EMMEs) to convey visual observation capabilities to novices. Compared to prior results, the application of EMMEs improves process model comprehension significantly for novices. Novices achieved in some cases similar performances in process model comprehension to experts. The study’s insights highlight the positive effect of EMMEs on fostering the comprehension of process models.

应用眼动模型实例指导新手注意过程模型

过程模型在许多领域都是至关重要的工件，因此，正确理解它们非常重要。过程模型介导了许多需要正确理解的方面。新手尤其难以理解过程模型，因为正确理解此类模型需要过程建模专家和视觉观察能力，才能正确解释这些模型。来自其他领域的研究表明，专家的视觉观察能力可以传达给新手。为了在过程模型理解的背景下评估后者，本文介绍了正在进行的研究结果，其中将专家的凝视数据用作眼睛运动建模示例（EMME），以向新手传达视觉观察能力。与之前的结果相比，EMME的应用极大地提高了新手对过程模型的理解。在某些情况下，新手在过程模型理解方面取得了与专家相似的性能。该研究的见解突出了EMME对促进过程模型理解的积极作用。
