Faces elicit different scanning patterns depending on task demands

Abstract: Eye movements were recorded while participants discriminated upright and inverted faces that differed with respect to either configural or featural information. Two hypotheses were examined: (1) whether featural and configural information processing elicit different scanning patterns; (2) whether fixations on a specific region of the face dominate scanning patterns. Results from two experiments were compared to examine whether participants' prior knowledge of the kind of information that would be relevant for … Show more

“…Observers viewed peripheral faces to which they made eye movements in anticipation of an attractiveness rating. If salient features capture attention we would expect these to influence the distribution of fixations on the face, with more fixations towards the feature and fewer fixations on the eyesthe preferred fixation region during the spontaneous exploration of normal faces (Barton, Radcliffe, Cherkasova, Edelman, & Intriligator, 2006;Boutet, Lemieux, Goulet, & Collin, 2017).…”

“…A simultaneous reversal of these retinotopic biases for eyes and mouth is only possible for faces seen upside down. Moreover, eye-tracking studies investigating gaze behavior toward inverted faces indicate that the basic pattern of feature fixations remains similar to that for upright faces (Boutet, Lemieux, Goulet, & Collin, 2017;Williams & Henderson, 2007), although the predominance of the eye region appears Images were overlaid with a dynamic noise mask that persisted for 250 ms after image offset. Right-hand side: The flashing target stimuli could be Thatcherized or not, and participants were asked to decide which version they saw in a match-to-sample task.…”

“…This contingency has not been considered by most studies investigating the role of featural versus configural processing for face-inversion effects, including those that explicitly examined gaze behavior (e.g. Barton et al, 2006;Bombari, Mast, & Lobmaier, 2009;Boutet et al, 2017;Hills et al, 2012;van Belle, De Graef, Verfaillie, Rossion, & Lefèvre, 2010;Williams & Henderson, 2007;Xu & Tanaka, 2013). For instance, van Belle, De Graef, et al 2010conducted an elegant match-to-sample experiment in which candidate faces were presented in a gaze-contingent fashion.…”

“…Gazing at a face allows us to extract socially relevant information about the person, including identity, gender, age, race, expression, and the direction of gaze. In turn, the type of information we seek to gather from a face influences how we scan the face and what facial features we are most likely to fixate (Boutet, Lemieux, Goulet, & Collin, 2017; Vaidya, Jin, & Fellows, 2014). Although the task, context, individual differences, and social and cultural factors can all affect our gaze behavior toward faces, there are also consistent biases found across most observers.…”
