Incidental learning of trust: Examining the role of emotion and visuomotor fluency.
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn
November 2016
Article Synopsis
- Eye gaze serves as a strong indicator that helps people share attention and build trust, even when the person's face is overlooked.
- Trustworthiness is judged based on whether a person looks at relevant targets, with facial expressions (like smiling vs. neutral) affecting trust learning.
- The study shows that gaze direction impacts trust judgments specifically, not other feelings like liking, and that simply being skilled at processing visual information isn't enough for trust to be learned.
Article Synopsis
- Gaze direction (where someone is looking) can quickly influence where people pay attention, making them focus on important things faster if they match the gaze.
- Faces that look at you and pay attention are seen as more trustworthy than those that look away or don’t match your focus.
- The study suggests that how we feel emotionally when we see someone’s gaze affects how much we trust them, especially with faces, rather than with arrows or other objects that point.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how people quickly orient their attention based on where others are looking, noting that reactions to targets are faster when gaze direction matches the target's location compared to when it doesn't.
- - Using advanced brain imaging techniques, researchers found that inconsistent gaze cues lead to more negative emotional responses and lower trust judgments for faces associated with those cues.
- - The research identified specific brain responses linked to emotion and face recognition, highlighting that learning to trust based on gaze takes about 1000 milliseconds and showing that some brain activity is concentrated in the anterior temporal areas.
