Description
Summary:The author examines the  methodological contributions of the ten unique reviews developed in this special issue on the methodologies for studying visual expertise. Opportunities, research results and lessons, offered by each methodology are analyzed according to four dimensions criteria: (i) The different levels of visual and cognitive processes targeted in the different methods; (ii) The effect of the task gaols and  task design on the outcomes; (iii) The potential effect of the format (dynamic versus static) of the visual material and the interactive features provided in previous studies (iv) The potential modulating effect of learners individual differences. Concluding comments are developed  about the limitations of each method but also about the challenge and promises of designing and using combined and synchronized methods.
