Note: N = 23; lcnr = low calorie not ready to eat, lcr = low calorie ready to eat, hcs = high calorie sweet, hcns = high
calorie not sweet; TVD = total visit duration, VC = visit count, TFD = total fixation duration, FC = fixation count.

The corresponding correlations were also computed for women and are presented in
Table 17. Significant negative correlations were found for both the low- and high-calorie
stimuli groups. The degree of the correlations ranged between small and strong. These
correlations were systematic in relation to one single ET variable: visit count. Visit count
was the number of visits within an AOI and included both saccades and fixations.
