Description

Canling An and Soichiro Matsuda study how gaze-triggered distance changes reshape where people look. Their experiment from twenty twenty-six uses animated face approaches and retreats. Social distance is a basic cue in human interaction. Whether gaze itself trains later looking habits was unknown.

Fifty adults completed approach and recede training blocks. Staring at a face triggered its animation during training. Looking time was measured before and after in still phases. Approach training reduced later dwell on that face. Recede training produced a different allocation pattern. Effects depended on condition, not mere exposure time. Eye behaviour learns from social outcomes quickly, it seems.
