Abstract

Searching vast library collections for books to read can be overwhelming for children. The information-seeking behavior of children differs greatly from that of adults; if the information is too complex and large in quantity, information overload may occur. Thus, book recommendation systems for children must match their information-processing abilities. This study grounded on the accessibility-diagnosticity theory proposed by Feldman and Lynch aimed to investigate the relationships among the cognitive abilities, information-seeking behavior, and eye movement behavior of children of different ages faced with different types of information. Our results indicate that age, perceptual speed, and the number of round-trip choices influence eye movement behavior for both accessible information and diagnostic information, whereas associative memory was only correlated with eye movement behavior for diagnostic information. This study employed physiological and psychological indicators to explain information identification responses to verify the cognitive effects of different types of information. These results can be applied to meet the specific needs of children regarding information-seeking while sparking their interest in self-learning, both of which will aid in the development of smart library services for digital natives.
