The uneven distribution of the annotators' attention becomes even more apparent in a comparison of the total number of fixations on the different text parts: 14 out of an average of 18 fixations per example were directed at the annotation phrase and the surrounding sentence, the text context above the annotation chunk received only 2.2 fixations on the average and the text context below only 1.3.
the eye-tracking data indicates that the textual context is not as important as might have been expected for quick and accurate annotation.
