Following gaze: gaze-following behavior as a window into social cognition
SV Shepherd - Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2010 - frontiersin.org
In general, individuals look where they attend and next intend to act. Many animals,
including our own species, use observed gaze as a deictic (“pointing”) cue to guide …

Seeing other minds: attributed mental states influence perception
C Teufel, PC Fletcher, G Davis - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2010 - cell.com
A current consensus views social perception as a bottom-up process in which the human
brain uses social signals to make inferences about another's mental state. Here we propose …

Faces are special for newly hatched chicks: evidence for inborn domain‐specific mechanisms underlying spontaneous preferences for face‐like stimuli
O Rosa‐Salva, L Regolin… - Developmental …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
It is currently being debated whether human newborns' preference for faces is due to an
unlearned, domain‐specific and configural representation of the appearance of a face, or to …

Age-group differences in interference from young and older emotional faces
NC Ebner, MK Johnson - Cognition and Emotion, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
Human attention is selective, focusing on some aspects of events at the expense of others.
In particular, angry faces engage attention. Most studies have used pictures of young faces …

Semantic categorization precedes affective evaluation of visual scenes.
We compared the primacy of affective versus semantic categorization by using forced-choice
saccadic and manual response tasks. Participants viewed paired emotional and neutral …

The mere perception of eye contact increases arousal during a word-spelling task
Eye contact is a highly salient and fundamentally social signal. This entails that the mere
perception of direct gaze may trigger differentiated neurobehavioral responses as compared …

Selectivity for low-level features of objects in the human ventral stream
Category selective regions in the ventral visual stream are considered to support higher-
level representations of objects. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which …

How do children learn to follow gaze, share joint attention, imitate their teachers, and use tools during social interactions?
S Grossberg, T Vladusich - Neural Networks, 2010 - Elsevier
How does an infant learn through visual experience to imitate actions of adult teachers,
despite the fact that the infant and adult view one another and the world from different …

Neural responses to rigidly moving faces displaying shifts in social attention investigated with fMRI and MEG
LC Lee, TJ Andrews, SJ Johnson, W Woods, A Gouws… - Neuropsychologia, 2010 - Elsevier
A widely adopted neural model of face perception (Haxby, Hoffman, & Gobbini, 2000)
proposes that the posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) represents the changeable …

Learning to discriminate face views
Although perceptual learning of simple visual features has been studied extensively and
intensively for many years, we still know little about the mechanisms of perceptual learning …
