Gaze Display When Thinking Depends on Culture and Context
In three experiments, the roles of culture and social factors in individual's eye gaze displays when thinking were examined. Canadian and Japanese participants answered questions requiring thinking to derive the answers in social and nonsocial contexts. Canadian participants looked up when thinking but only when they were aware of being observed. They looked down when they knew they could not be seen. In contrast, Japanese participants looked dow…
Cultural Display Rules Drive Eye Gaze During Thinking
The authors measured the eye gaze displays of Canadian, Trinidadian, and Japanese participants as they answered questions for which they either knew, or had to derive, the answers. When they knew the answers, Trinidadians maintained the most eye contact, whereas Japanese maintained the least. When thinking about the answers to questions, Canadians and Trinidadians looked up, whereas Japanese looked down. Thus, for humans, gaze displays while thin…
The Still‐Face Effect: Methodological Issues and New Applications
Over the last 25 years, the seemingly simple still‐face phenomenon has elicited a tremendous amount of empirical and theoretical work. Adamson and Frick (2003/this issue) provide a comprehensive review and in‐depth analysis of this large body of research. In our commentary, we focus on 3 major points. First, we described several methods to define operationally the still‐face effect. Second, we noted the important role of adult touch in the still‐…

Development of Tactile Responses in Human Preterm and Full‐Term Infants From 30 to 40 Weeks Postconceptional Age
Maturation of tactile sensitivity prior to term was examined in 36 preterm and 13 full‐term infants using a fixed‐trial, habituation procedure. Each infant was presented with a series of 8 habituation (arm stroke), 2 novel (arm lift), and 2 recovery (arm stroke) stimulus trials while heart rate and body movements were recorded. Maturation was observed with a gradual increase in the magnitude of the stimulus‐elicited cardiac acceleration and cardi…

Three-year-olds' difficulty with the appearance–reality distinction: Is it real or is it apparent
Four experiments investigated 3-year-olds' understanding of the appearance-reality distinction using both J. Flavell, F. Green, and J. Flavell's (1986) typical verbal response paradigm and a new, nonverbal response paradigm. Both paradigms require verbal questioning, but the former involves a verbal response and the latter a nonverbal one. In the nonverbal paradigm, children were shown a deceptive object and asked to respond, nonverbally, to 2 di…
The still-face effect in Chinese and Canadian 3- to 6-month-old infants
Studies conducted in China examining cross-cultural differences in 3- to 6-month-olds used the still-face paradigm. In each study, 20 infants were in the experimental group (normal, still-face, normal interactions) and 20 in the control (3 normal periods). In Study 1, infants interacted with either their mother or their father; they looked and smiled less to the still-face of both parents. In Study 2, infants interacted with both their mother and…
"Children's use of triadic eye gaze information for "mind reading
Five experiments examined children's use of eye gaze information for "mind-reading" purposes, specifically, for inferring another person's desire. When presented with static displays in the first 3 experiments, only by 4 years of age did children use another person's eye direction to infer desires, although younger children could identify the person's focus of attention. Further, 3-year-olds were capable of inferring desire from other nonverbal c…
Social competence and person-object differentiation: An analysis of the still-face effect
The communicative abilities of infants, revealed in the still-face (SF) procedure, were examined in 2 studies comparing behavior toward people and «interactive» objects. In Experiment 1, thirty-two 3- and 6-month-olds were presented with an object and a person (mother or female stranger). The SF effect was produced only by mothers and strangers. Positive affect clearly established person-object differentiation; infants smiled at people but rarely…
