honestly I didn't even know there were N- and NT-SEEV Models, thanks for that and the solid references. Couldn't have hoped for more

<p>What's the original source of the SEEV (Salience Effort Expectancy Value) Model for predicting the distribution of visual attention? I've seen it mentioned in many papers and presentations but everyone of them lacks a reference to the source of this model.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a valid reference?</p>

What's the original source of the SEEV (Salience Effort Expectancy Value) Model for predicting the distribution of visual attention? I've seen it mentioned in many papers and presentations but everyone of them lacks a reference to the source of this model.

Does anyone have a valid reference?
