Explicit and implicit spatial mapping of face age - Psychological Research Psychological Research - Time is often conceptualised in spatial terms. For example, concepts such as ‘before’ and ‘after’ are frequently mapped onto the left and right...

New paper out in Psychological Research @springernature.com

Younger faces map to the left, older faces to the right. This spatial bias is stronger when age is task-relevant, but it can emerge implicitly too.

Ethnicity does not matter: Comparable reversed congruency effects for gaze stimuli from same- and other-ethnicity faces - Psychological Research In spatial Stroop tasks with gaze stimuli, the reversed congruency effect (RCE) refers to slower responses in congruent (i.e., a gaze pointing right presented on the right side of the screen) than inc...

Mind wandering "leaves" a trace in our eyes.
We show that tiny, involuntary eye movements (microsaccades) reveal when our mind drifts away from the task at hand.

What we eat says who we are.
Our new cross cultural study shows that people prioritise foods linked to their own culture.

Uncovering everyday attention in the lab: front-viewed heads boost overt social orienting - Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications Social attention can be defined as the tendency to orient attentional resources in response to spatial cues provided by others, such as their gaze or head direction. This mechanism is essential for na...

A direct comparison of gaze-mediated orienting elicited by schematic and real human faces During social interactions, we tend to orient our visual attention towards the spatial location indicated by the gaze direction of others. However, mo…

Do we really need real faces? Our new paper tests whether schematic faces are just as powerful in guiding attention
