Nurse education, both in university and field-placement contexts, places high priority on understanding and applying the meaning of diagnostic information conveyed in visual display formats. Understanding the condition of patients revealed by such displays is a critical factor in determining patient outcomes. A promising feature of eye-tracking technologies and methodologies investigating cognitive processes in diagnostic situations is to examine eye movements as nursing students analyse the information provided in real visual displays.
