A preference to look closer to the eyes is associated with a position-invariant face neural code
When looking at faces, humans invariably move their eyes to a consistent preferred first fixation location on the face. While most people have the preferred fixation location just below the eyes, a minority have it between the nose-tip and mouth. Not much is known about whether these long-term differences in the preferred fixation location are associated with distinct neural representations of faces. To study this, we used a gaze-contingent face …
How experts and novices judge other people’s knowledgeability from language use
How accurate are people in judging someone else’s knowledge based on their language use, and do more knowledgeable people use different cues to make these judgments? We address this by recruiting a group of participants (“informants”) to answer general knowledge questions and describe various images belonging to different categories (e.g., cartoons, basketball). A second group of participants (“evaluators”) also answer general knowledge questions…
Perceptual Learning: Policy Insights From Basic Research to Real-World Applications
Perceptual learning is the process by which experience alters how incoming sensory information is processed by the brain to give rise to behavior—it is critical for how humans educate children, train experts, treat diseases, and promote health and well-being throughout the lifespan. Knowledge of perceptual learning requires basic and applied research in humans and nonhuman animal models, which informs strategic targets for advancing applications.…
Gaze-cued shifts of attention and microsaccades are sustained for whole bodies but are transient for body parts
Gaze direction is an evolutionarily important mechanism in daily social interactions. It reflects a person’s internal cognitive state, spatial locus of interest, and predicts future actions. Studies have used static head images presented foveally and simple synthetic tasks to find that gaze orients attention and facilitates target detection at the cued location in a sustained manner. Little is known about how people’s natural gaze behavior, inclu…
