Recent gaze cueing studies using dynamic cue sequences have reported increased attention orienting by gaze with faces expressing fear, surprise or anger. Here, we investigated whether the type of dynamic cue sequence used impacted the magnitude of this effect. When the emotion was expressed before or concurrently with gaze shift, no modulation of gaze-oriented attention by emotion was seen. In contrast, when the face cue averted gaze before expressing an emotion (as if reacting to the object after first localizing it), the gaze orienting effect was clearly increased for fearful, surprised and angry faces compared to neutral faces. Thus, the type of dynamic sequence used, and in particular the order in which the gaze shift and the facial expression are presented, modulate gaze-oriented attention, with maximal modulation seen when the expression of emotion follows gaze shift.
近期使用动态线索序列的注视提示研究报告称，对于表达恐惧、惊讶或愤怒的面孔，注视会增强注意力定向。在此，我们研究了所使用的动态线索序列类型是否会影响这种效应的大小。当情绪在注视转移之前或同时表达时，未观察到情绪对注视定向注意力的调节作用。相反，当面部线索在表达情绪之前避开注视（就好像在首先定位物体后对其做出反应）时，与中性面孔相比，恐惧、惊讶和愤怒面孔的注视定向效应明显增强。因此，所使用的动态序列类型，尤其是注视转移和面部表情呈现的顺序，会调节注视定向注意力，当情绪表达跟随注视转移时，调节作用最大。
