碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 設計研究所 === 100 === On the difference of image understanding between genders and study majors, previous research indicated that spatial visualization abilities of male is better than female (Healy, 2004/2009,134), science major students better than literature major students (Wu et al., 2009). In order to understand the difference of image understanding between genders and study majors of senior high school students, the present study investigate the correlation between subjects and image understanding in different areas, image understanding and eye movements。The sample consisted of 102 third grade senior high school students(17-18 years old) attending a public school in Taipei. The present study identified and defined 10 images into 4 areas: spatial, history, culture, and life. Images were showed through computer screen to subjects, while eye movements were recorded, subjects had to verbally respond to questions about images at the same time。Results are:1. Only few can understand the depth symbol meaning of images. 2. Only few can recognize the detail of images. 3. Study backgrounds influence image understanding abilities. 4. Difficulty of spatial image influence image understanding. 5. Visual preferences influence image understanding abilities. 6. There are certain patterns of image misunderstanding。7. Complexity of image symbol meaning influence eye movements of male subjects. 8. Image understanding influence eye movements. 9. Image composition influence eye movements.
