Abstract

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.

  • Gaze cues from an agent toward the user can be an effective way to cue the user to display proof of attention.

    “Gaze cues from an agent toward the user can be an effective way to cue the user to display proof of attention (Frischen et al., 2007).”

    From Modeling Feedback in Interaction With Conversational Agents—A Review (2022) · cites this paper as Frischen et al., 2007

    In “What Are the Effects of Eye Contact?” (page not provided), the review reports that gaze directed at an observer captures and engages the observer’s attention. It does not establish that an agent’s gaze cues a user to display an observable proof of attention. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
