Eye gaze is not unique: The reversed congruency effect on gaze and tongue targets

Y Tanaka, K Ishikawa, T Oyama… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
In the spatial Stroop task, an arrow target produces a spatial Stroop effect, whereas a gaze
target elicits a reversed congruency effect. The reversed congruency effect has been …

Eye-gaze direction triggers a more specific attentional orienting compared to arrows

JA Chacón-Candia, J Lupiáñez, M Casagrande… - PLoS …, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Numerous studies have shown that eye-gaze and arrows automatically shift visuospatial
attention. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether the attentional shifts triggered by these …

Neural basis of social attention: common and distinct mechanisms for social and nonsocial orienting stimuli

C Narganes-Pineda, PM Paz-Alonso, A Marotta… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Social and nonsocial directional stimuli (such as gaze and arrows, respectively) share their

When “looking at nothing” imparts something: Retrospective gaze cues flexibly direct prioritization in visual working memory.

Y Zhang, S Ye, W Chen, X Ding - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Previous research has shown that retrospective gaze cues direct attention to internally
maintained representations in visual working memory (vWM). Here, we aimed to differentiate …

Do gaze and non-gaze stimuli trigger different spatial interference effects? It depends on stimulus perceivability

Z Chen, RH Thomas, MS Chen - Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Among the studies on the perception of gaze vs. non-gaze stimuli, some have shown that
the two types of stimuli trigger different patterns of attentional effects, while others have …

Is the reversed congruency effect unique to the eye-gaze? Investigating the effects of finger pointing, eye-gaze and arrows stimuli on spatial interference

S Bonventre, A Marotta - Frontiers in Cognition, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Introduction Spatial interference tasks have been recently used to investigate the supposed
uniqueness of gaze processing and attention. For instance, it has been observed that gaze …

Perceiving social gaze produces the reversed congruency effect

K Ishikawa, T Oyama, Y Tanaka… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2024 - journals.sagepub.com
Numerous studies have shown that the gaze of others produces a special attentional
process, such as the eye contact effect or joint attention. This study investigated the …

Gaze-triggered communicative intention compresses perceived temporal duration

Y Yu, L Wang, Y Jiang - Psychological Science, 2023 - journals.sagepub.com
Eye gaze communicates a person's attentional state and intentions toward objects. Here we
demonstrate that this important social signal has the potential to distort time perception of …

Prioritization of social information processing: Eye gaze elicits earlier vMMN than arrows

Y Huang, W Shen, S Fu - Neuropsychologia, 2024 - Elsevier
Numerous research studies have demonstrated that eye gaze and arrows act as cues that
