چکیده
Recent studies have found that when viewing real world social scenes, observers look preferentially at the eyes of people relative to other scene regions (Birmingham et al., in press (a); Birmingham et al., in press (b); Smilek, Birmingham, Cameron, Bischof & Kingstone, 2006). This preference occurs in scenes displaying a variety of social situations (e.g. one or three people performing various activities) and across several different tasks (e.g. freely viewing the scenes, describing the scenes, inferring the attentional states of the people in the scenes).
