Training for eye contact modulates gaze following in dogs
Following human gaze in dogs and human infants can be considered a socially facilitated orientation response, which in object choice tasks is modulated by human-given ostensive cues. Despite their similarities to human infants, and extensive skills in reading human cues in foraging contexts, no evidence that dogs follow gaze into distant space has been found. We re-examined this question, and a...
متن کاملEffects of observing eye contact on gaze following in high-functioning autism.
Observing eye contact between others enhances the tendency to subsequently follow their gaze and has been suggested to function as a social signal that adds meaning to an upcoming action or event. The present study investigated effects of observed eye contact in high-functioning autism (HFA). Two faces on a screen either looked at or away from each other before providing congruent or incongruen...
متن کاملEye Contact Is Crucial for Referential Communication in Pet Dogs
Dogs discriminate human direction of attention cues, such as body, gaze, head and eye orientation, in several circumstances. Eye contact particularly seems to provide information on human readiness to communicate; when there is such an ostensive cue, dogs tend to follow human communicative gestures more often. However, little is known about how such cues influence the production of communicativ...
متن کاملInfant gaze following based on eye direction
This experiment investigates the role of eye direction in infant joint visual attention. Sixty-three infants aged from 8 to 19 months participated in a training study in which they were shown adult eye turns in association with the appearance of an interesting sight to one or the other side. It was only at 18-19 months ofage that infants showed a reliable ability to use the adult eye turns to p...
متن کاملUsing Eye Direction Cues for Gaze Following - A Developmental Model
We present a reinforcement learning model of gaze following that learns to incorporate eye cues in a developmental trajectory similar to that found in infants: older infants follow gaze more frequently when both the caregiver’s eyes and head are turned than when only her head is turned. Similarly, infants learn to follow gaze less when the caregiver’s eyes are closed than when her eyes are open...
