Data including fixation duration, fixation count and inter-scanning transitions were collected and calculated. Participants\u2019 domain knowledge was measured by pre-experiment questionnaires. Logistic regression analysis was leveraged to build the prediction model and the model\u2019s performance was evaluated based on baseline model.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The results showed that novices spent significantly more time in fixating on text area than experts, because of the difficulty of understanding the information of text area. Total fixation duration on text area (TFD_T) was a significantly negative predictor of domain knowledge. The prediction performance of logistic regression model using eye-tracking measures was better than baseline model, with the accuracy, precision and F(\u03b2 = 1) scores to be 0.71, 0.86, 0.79.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Little research has been reported in literature on investigation of domain knowledge effect on eye-tracking measures during reading and prediction of domain knowledge based on eye-tracking measures. Most studies focus on multimedia learning. With respect to the prediction of domain knowledge, only some studies are found in the field of information search. This paper makes a good contribution to the literature on the effect of domain knowledge on eye-tracking measures during N-TOC reading and predicting domain knowledge.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/el-05-2017-0108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,24]],"date-time":"2018-09-24T04:59:50Z","timestamp":1537765190000},"page":"1027-1042","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Predicting readers\u2019 domain knowledge based on eye-tracking measures"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Quan","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiyue","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"key2021041413230506000_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"493","DOI":"10.1007\/s10763-013-9494-9","article-title":"From covert processes to overt outcomes of refutation text reading: the interplay of science text structure and working memory capacity through eye fixations","volume":"12","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2021041413230506000_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.1080\/10810730.2015.1080327","article-title":"How are online health messages processed?
