Gaze Cueing of Attention

During social interactions, people’s eyes convey a wealth of information about their direction of attention and their emotional and mental states. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of past and current research into the perception of gaze behavior and its effect on the observer. This encompasses the perception of gaze direction and its influence on perception of the other person, as well as gaze-following behavior such as joint attention, in infant, adult, and clinical populations. Particular focus is given to the gaze-cueing paradigm that has been used to investigate the mechanisms of joint attention. The contribution of this paradigm has been significant and will likely continue to advance knowledge across diverse fields within psychology and neuroscience.

Two problems of intersubjectivity (2009, background): “Even an infant at 8 months follows the direction of gaze behind a barrier — it understands that the agent is seeing something that it does not see (Csibra & Volein, 2008; Frischen et al., 2007).”
Breaking the Fourth Wall of Cognitive Science (2016, positive): “…by brain regions that are preferentially tuned for stimuli that look like eyes (Batki, Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Connellan, & Ahluwalia, 2000; Friesen & Kingstone, 1998; Frischen et al., 2007; Laidlaw, Risko, & Kingstone, 2012; Langton, Watt, & Bruce, 2000; Levy, Foulsham, & Kingstone, 2012).”
A new form of human spatial attention: Automated symbolic orienting (2012, background): “First, the attentional effects elicited by central nonpredictive cues emerge rapidly, by 100 ms, both when the cue is spatially uninformative (Frischen et al., 2007) and/or counterinformative of the target’s position (Friesen et al.”
Neural bases of eye and gaze processing: the core of social cognition. (2009, positive): “…the face is directed towards the side where the target later appears and longer when the gaze is looking in the opposite direction (Driver et al., 1999; Friesen and Kingstone, 1998; Hietanen, 1999; Langton and Bruce, 1999; Vuilleumier, 2002; for a very detailed review, see Frischen et al., 2007).”
Joint action understanding improves robot-to-human object handover (2013, background): “Joint attention plays a critical role in the development of social cognitive skills, interaction and communication [25], and is at the core of “Theory of Mind”, i.”
Eye to eye, face to face and brain to brain: novel approaches to study the behavioral dynamics and neural mechanisms of social interactions (2015, positive): “Despite later-developing skills to navigate the social world, gaze remains a crucial cue system for our understanding of others and serves a variety of social-cognitive functions [2].”
Social eye gaze in human-robot interaction (2017, background): “People use their observations of others’ eye gaze to guide every-thing from conversation (Kleinke, 1986) to speech (Argyle & Cook, 1976) and attention (Frischen, Bayliss, & Tipper, 2007).”
You look where I look! Effect of gaze cues on overt and covert attention in misdirection (2009, background): “Indeed numerous papers using gaze cueing tasks (see Frischen, Bayliss, & Tipper, 2007 , for a review) have argued that people's attention is automatically oriented towards areas that are being looked at.”
The Two Forms of Visuo-Spatial Perspective Taking are Differently Embodied and Subserve Different Spatial Prepositions (2010, background): “This could be regarded as some sort of embodied representation in its own right: Gaze is a very strong social cue that has been related to processes of motor resonance (for a review Frischen et al., 2007).”
