The ability to adaptively follow conspecific eye movements is crucial for establishing shared
attention and survival. Indeed, in humans, interacting with the gaze direction of others …

Gaze acts from an early age as a cue to orient attention and, thereafter, to infer our social
partners' intentions, thoughts, and emotions. Variants of the attentional orienting paradigm …

Subtle to no attentional differences have been broadly observed when using gaze and
arrows as orienting cues. However, recent studies have found opposite effects when they …

From early ages, gaze acts as a cue to infer the interests, behaviours, thoughts and
emotions of social partners. Despite sharing attentional properties with other non‐social …

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 …

Spontaneous gaze following and the concomitant joint attention enable us to share
representations of the world with others, which forms a foundation of a broad range of social …

Social and nonsocial directional stimuli (such as gaze and arrows, respectively) share their
ability to trigger attentional processes, although the issue of whether social stimuli generate …

Recent evidence with a spatial interference paradigm has shown that arrows and eye gaze
yield opposite congruency effects, arrow target eliciting faster responses when their direction …

Individuals diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been found
to have impairments in multiple aspects of social cognition, thus including the attentional …

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 …
