This mixed method study investigation uses eye tracking and qualitative analysis to investigate the impact of animation variation and visual feedback on the critique of submicroscopic representations of experimental phenomena. Undergraduate general chemistry students first viewed an experimental video of a precipitation or oxidation reduction (redox) reaction. Next, they viewed the corresponding animations and were shown a visualization of where they had looked. Critique of the chemically relevant features in the animations and viewing pattern were monitored using participant generated drawings, verbal responses, graphic organizers, and eye tracking. Viewing and critique of chemically relevant features were found to increase after engaging with structured animations and visual feedback. Findings from this study support the use of structured variations and visual feedback in developing critical consumers of visual information, empowering students to describe and develop their understanding of chemical phenomena and become more purposeful visual consumers.

化学影像的关键消耗：眼睛跟踪结构化变化以及氧化还原和沉淀反应的视觉反馈†

这项混合方法研究调查使用眼动追踪和定性分析来研究动画变化和视觉反馈对实验现象的亚微观表示的批判的影响。本科化学专业的学生首先观看了有关沉淀或氧化还原（氧化还原）反应的实验视频。接下来，他们查看了相应的动画，并显示了观看位置的可视化。使用参与者生成的绘图，口头答复，图形组织者和眼睛跟踪，监视对动画和观看模式中化学相关特征的批评。在与结构化动画和视觉反馈互动后，发现对化学相关特征的观看和评论增加了。
