| Summary: | Faces we encounter in our daily lives are presented to us in several different views, yet most
research on face recognition has focused on fixation points on the frontal orientation. This
paper examines first fixation points by using eye-tracking technology to measure eye
movements to seven different face orientations during a face recognition task. We found a
significant shift in horizontal first fixation position towards the left of the face as the stimulus
orientation increases towards the right. We also noted a significant decrease in face
recognition performance at higher angles of orientation (60° and 90°), while no deficits in
performance occurred between 0° (frontal orientation) and 40°. This paper also discusses this
effect with regards to information distribution of face stimulus, perceptual learning and
hemispherical asymmetry in face recognition. |
