<i>Supporting data for "Exploring the Effect of Background Music on Visual Cognitive Tasks with Multimodal Learning Analytics"</i>

This dataset supports the research titled "Exploring the Effect of Background Music on Visual Cognitive Tasks with Multimodal Learning Analytics". This research comprises two user studies, each focusing on a visual cognitive task: a reading comprehension task (study 1) and a virtual cultural heritage learning task (study 2).This research integrated multimodal data sources at both behavioral and physiological levels, including task performance, self-reports, neural responses, eye-tracking data, and heart rates, to examine the effects of background music on the two visual cognitive tasks. In addition, the dataset includes interview transcripts from participants in both tasks, providing qualitative evidence to understand their thoughts and feelings about learning with background music.The dataset comprises quantitative and qualitative data from the two user studies. The quantitative data are stored in the Excel file titled "thesis quantitative dataset.xlsx", which contains two sheets: (1) "study 1_passage level_dataset", and (2) "study 2_scene level_dataset". The two sheets provide basic participant and experiment information, along with behavioral and physiological measures recorded when the participants performed the reading comprehension task (study 1) or the virtual cultural heritage learning task (study 2) with or without background music. The qualitative data are organized in the folder "thesis qualitative dataset", which includes two sub-folders: (1) "study 1 transcripts", and (2) "study 2 transcripts", containing the participants' interview responses from the respective study 1 and study 2.本数据集支持题为《基于多模态学习分析（Multimodal Learning Analytics）的背景音乐对视觉认知任务影响探究》的研究。该研究包含两项用户实验，分别聚焦两类视觉认知任务：阅读理解任务（实验1）与虚拟文化遗产学习任务（实验2）。 本研究整合了行为与生理层面的多模态数据源，涵盖任务表现、自我报告数据、神经反应、眼动追踪数据及心率数据，旨在探究背景音乐对这两类视觉认知任务的影响。此外，本数据集还包含两项实验中参与者的访谈转录文本，可为理解参与者在背景音乐环境下学习的所思所感提供质性研究证据。 本数据集包含两项用户实验的定量与定性数据。定量数据存储于名为"thesis quantitative dataset.xlsx"的Excel文件中，该文件包含两个工作表：(1) "study 1_passage level_dataset"与(2) "study 2_scene level_dataset"。这两个工作表涵盖参与者基本信息、实验相关信息，以及参与者在有无背景音乐条件下完成阅读理解任务（实验1）或虚拟文化遗产学习任务（实验2）时记录的行为与生理测量数据。 定性数据整理于"thesis qualitative dataset"文件夹中，该文件夹包含两个子文件夹：(1) "study 1 transcripts"与(2) "study 2 transcripts"，分别存储对应实验中参与者的访谈回复内容。
