Abstract:

An uninformative cue by a centrally-presented face gazing to one-location can trigger reflexive shifts of attention toward the location gazed at. In this gaze-cueing paradigm, the variation of face stimuli providing the gaze cue can influence the amount of cueing effect. Therefore, present study is concerned with the influence of number of face stimuli on gaze-cueing effect. The face number was varied to provide one, two, four, or three-versus-one gaze cues in two experiments. The results of experiment 1 showed that no significant difference was found among the cueing effects induced by one, two, and four faces in a same-gazedirection condition. However, in a gaze contrast condition of experiment 2, significant cueing effect was observed along the gaze direction of three same-direction-gazing faces, rather than along that of only one face. The results presented here support the hypothesis that face number affects gaze-evoked attention orienting.
