Neural bases of eye and gaze processing: the core of social cognition. (2009, unknown): “This effect of direct gaze on face recognition has been reported in newborns (Hood et al., 2003), 4-monthold infants (Farroni et al., 2007) and children from 6 to 11 years of age (Smith et al., 2006) for front-view faces and will have to be tested with 3/4-view faces.”
Recognizing Communicative Intentions in Infancy (2010, background): “Hood et al. (2003) found that both children and adults were more accurate in memorizing faces with direct gaze than faces with averted gaze.”
How do eye gaze and facial expression interact? (2008, background): “…shifts an observer’s attention (e.g., Friesen & Kingstone, 1998; Friesen et al., 2005) and consistently impairs the processing of sex and identity-related face information (Hood et al., 2003; Macrae et al., 2002; Mason et al., 2004), but facilitates the processing of selected emotional expressions.”
The eye contact effect: mechanisms and development. (2009, unknown): “In addition, direct gaze facilitates other face-related tasks such as gender discrimination [16], and the encoding and decoding of identity [ 17 ].”
