“…Eye-tracking research has demonstrated that, when perceiving a face, individuals spontaneously dedicate less attention to the forehead region than regions containing salient features such as the eyes (Heisz & Shore, 2008; Nguyen, Isaacowitz, & Rubin, 2009). This relative inattention to the forehead region may be adaptive for face recognition purposes, as greater visual attention to the forehead region has been found to be associated with a weaker ability to recognize faces (Corrow, Donlon, Mathison, Adamson, & Yonas, 2013). However, for observational drawing, accurate perceptual encoding of the spatial extent of the forehead region is important in order to accurately reproduce the spatial configuration of the features within a face.…”
