A novel perceptual trait: gaze predilection for faces during visual exploration

Abstract: Humans are social animals and typically tend to seek social interactions. In our daily life we constantly move our gaze to collect visual information which often includes social information, such as others’ emotions and intentions. Recent studies began to explore how individuals vary in their gaze behavior. However, these studies focused on basic features of eye movements (such as the length of movements) and did not examine the observer predilection for specific social features such as faces. We preformed two… Show more

“…Although the findings here contribute to the literature on memory-guided gaze, several questions remain unexplored. First, while we found a general effect of gaze behavior towards meaningful regions of the image, it is still not clear how this effect is modulated for specific semantic categories (such as faces; Guy et al, 2019). In the current design, we aimed to investigate the overall effect of semantically meaningful features and selected images that diverged in terms of their semantic properties.…”

“…Nor are the given task and the stimuli properties the only contraints to the perceiver. Subject's gut and feelings matter too: in our daily life we keenly move our gaze to gauge and collect visual information that includes social information, such as others' emotions and intentions [7], [10].…”

“…A less evident, albeit earnest need takes root in the challenge of "subject's mining": the computational inference of subject's traits, or expertise, or even expectations from attentive behaviour. Much can be gained indeed by analysing the "mind's eye" conduct of a subject who scrutinises and forages on the behaviour of other subjects involved in social interactions [4]- [7].…”

“…As an additional analysis, we computed split-half consistencies of head fixations per phase across participants since recent studies showed stable fixation patterns within individuals across trials and we were interested to see if we can replicate this finding in our real-life dataset (De Haas, Iakovidis, Schwarzkopf, & Gegenfurtner, 2019;Guy et al, 2019). To this end, we split the three experimental phases per participant into two equally long periods and computed head fixations within each half.…”
