Study 1: The use of task-evoked pupillary response as an objective measure of cognitive load in novices and trained physicians: a new tool for the assessment of expertise. In 2013, 20 emergency medicine trainees were recruited and divided into novice (n = 10) and trained physician (n = 10) groups. The authors used mobile eyetracking glasses to assess changes in pupil diameter as participants answered arithmetic questions, general knowledge questions, and clinical emergency medicine questions in a controlled setting. Questions were categorized by difficulty a priori.
