We investigated Ricciardelli et al.'s (2002) claim, that the tendency for gaze direction to elicit automatic attentional following is unique to biologically significant information. Participants made voluntary saccades to targets on the left or the right of a display, which were either congruent or incongruent with a centrally presented distractor (eye-gaze or arrow). Contrary to Ricciardelli et al., for both distractor types, saccade latencies were slower, and participants made more directional errors, on incongruent than on congruent trials. Moreover, a cost-benefit analysis showed no difference between the two distractor types. However, latencies for erroneous saccades were faster than correctly directed saccades for the eye-gaze distractors, but not for the arrow distractors.
我们对里恰尔代利等人（2002年）的观点进行了研究，即注视方向引发自动注意力跟随的倾向是生物重要信息所特有的。参与者对显示屏左侧或右侧的目标进行自主扫视，这些目标与中央呈现的干扰物（目光注视或箭头）一致或不一致。与里恰尔代利等人的观点相反，对于两种干扰物类型，在不一致试验中，扫视潜伏期都较慢，并且参与者出现的方向错误更多。此外，成本效益分析表明两种干扰物类型之间没有差异。然而，对于目光注视干扰物，错误扫视的潜伏期比对正确方向扫视的潜伏期要快，但对于箭头干扰物则不然。
