While gaze-mediated attentional orienting can often be considered automatic, as it reflects our spontaneous tendency to look where others are looking, accumulating evidence suggests that it is also strongly modulated by social variables. These include characteristics of the observer, characteristics of the face providing the gaze cue, and the nature of their relationship. In this short review, we summarise and critically discuss some recent studies that have investigated the influence of such social variables on this form of social attention. Our discussion is grounded in the eyeTUNE framework (Dalmaso et al., 2020b), which we use not only to organise existing evidence, but also to propose refinements. In particular, we highlight the role of cultural background and dynamic contexts as key directions for future research, arguing that these may offer novel, relevant insights into how attention operates in everyday social interactions.

Previous work has shown that objects presented proximally (e.g. apple and orange) are more likely to be labelled at the category level (e.g. fruit), whereas objects presented distally are more likely to be labelled at the item level (e.g. apple and orange). Furthermore, the specificity of object labelling has been shown to influence subsequent memory. Here, we investigated the effect of spatial proximity (proximal vs. distal) on label production during encoding and whether the label produced (item-level or category-level) affected subsequent recognition memory. Our results showed that semantically related objects presented proximally were significantly more likely to receive category-level labels, whereas distally presented objects were more likely to receive item-level labels. These categorizations also affected subsequent memory, such that targets encoded with item-level labels showed significantly higher hit rates and lower false alarm rates to category lures, relative to category-level labels. However, item-level labels did not reduce false alarms to perceptually similar lures, suggesting that label specificity alone is insufficient for fine-grained perceptual discrimination. Together, these findings suggest that item-level labels serve as stronger, more specific retrieval cues that aid recognition and support rejection of categorically related lures but do not provide sufficient detail to discriminate between perceptually similar lures. Category-level labels, by contrast, promote more generalized representations that increase susceptibility to false recognition.

This study aimed to develop and test a novel, engaging co-operative platformer game to induce anger through provocation, naturally immersing participants in the scenario, which allows investigating emotions in dynamics. The game was designed to impede goal achievement via poor performance of a fictitious partner, causing shared failures. Evaluation of the game efficacy included self-reports and physiological markers of emotional state. Self-reports confirmed that the game successfully provoked negative affect, with increased anger, sadness, and disgust. Physiological data indicated high arousal and expressivity during failures in the game. The co-operative platformer game presents a useful and engaging paradigm for negative emotion induction, incorporating an anger component. It successfully combines ecological validity with the methodological advantages of game-based tools, such as standardization, customizability, multitrial design, and suitability for simultaneous tasks.

The present study examined how list composition and emotion influence individuals' metamnemonic judgements and performance in a free recall task. Participants studied lists of words that varied in emotional valence and made immediate judgements of learning after each word. Valence was manipulated in a mixed-list design in Experiment 1, a pure-list design in Experiment 2, and in a mixed- versus pure-list design in Experiment 4; arousal was held constant. We expected that the relative influence of emotion on metamemory would depend on participants' beliefs about how emotion influences memory and that these beliefs would be more salient in a mixed-list than pure-list design. Consistent with this, emotional words were given higher judgements of learnings than neutral words in Experiments 1 and 4, but not in Experiment 2. Posttest questionnaires (Experiments 1 and 2) and data collected from a naïve participant sample (Experiment 3) indicated that participants believed that emotional words are more memorable than nonemotional words. These results suggest that list structure influenced the degree to which judgements of learnings were responsive to emotional content.

Few studies have examined young children's enumeration from a developmental perspective, especially using eye-tracking data, highlighting the novelty of the present study. Eye movements analysis can indeed give crucial information to understand in depth the construction of enumeration processes in childhood. In this study, we analyzed how kindergarten pupils enumerated elements displayed on a computer screen and how far their responses were influenced by their age and three other parameters, namely, the numerosity, configuration, and colour of the elements. Behavioural measures were combined with eye tracking to gain detailed insights into visual attention patterns during enumeration tasks. Results revealed a strong effect of configuration on enumeration. Errors were more frequent and response times longer with random arrangements versus dice configurations. Five-year-olds performed better on enumeration tasks than 4-year-olds when the elements were in random arrangements and in the counting range. Eye-tracking data confirmed behavioural results and revealed additionally that visual attention was more uniformly distributed across all the dots and associated with longer scanpaths when these dots were displayed in random arrangements versus dice configurations. These findings suggest that structured configurations may reduce cognitive load by supporting pattern recognition, thereby improving children's efficiency in enumeration tasks. Our results support the assumption that pattern recognition plays a fundamental role in the acquisition of enumeration abilities and that young children use qualitatively different enumeration processes for small numerosities depending on the configuration of the elements.

In Study 1, none of the independent variables had any effects on dichotomous verdict, guilt ratings (i.e., guilt rated on a 101-point scale), perceptions of the defendant, or sympathy toward the victim. In Study 2, the number of officers affected guilt ratings, such that the defendant received higher guilt ratings when there were more officers involved. Across both studies, mock-juror attitudes toward the police were found to be influential, such that those with more positive perceptions of the police assigned lower guilt ratings, had more favourable perceptions of the defendant, and had less sympathy toward the victim.

Participants (n = 72) played nine blocks of a novel zero-sum game, Dice Dual, while we parametrically manipulated the different number of response options (2, 4, 6) against an unexploitable computerized opponent. When the number of responses exceeded two, this allowed us to identify two types of shift behaviours: between-category shifts relevant to mental model exploitation and within-category shifts reflective of random exploration. Between-category shifts were sensitive to outcome valence, exhibiting an increased shift rate when more response options were available after win, while shift rates were independent of response availability after loss. In contrast, within-category shifts were only sensitive to response availability, with increased shift rates when more response options were available, irrespective of outcome valence. Identifying multiple, functionally different classes of shift behaviour using nonbinary response paradigms allows us to more easily separate attempts at exploitation and exploration. The data also offer more general models of performance regarding suboptimal decision making, where negative outcomes constrict the range of factors considered in future mental model updates.

A total of 328 adults completed the VVIQ-QC and Psiq-QC, with a randomly selected subsample (n = 73) repeating the assessment 1 month later. Exploratory factor analysis of the VVIQ-QC (eyes-open) revealed, as in the original VVIQ, distinct factors corresponding to each prompt cluster (i.e., relative, sunrise, landscape, and storefront). The Psiq-QC yielded a six-factor solution after excluding the Body modality, diverging from the original seven-factor model. Both instruments showed strong internal consistency, temporal stability, and convergent validity. No significant effects of age, sex, or education were observed on imagery scores.

We advance an embodied account, proposing that hand position, posture and action readiness systematically shape attentional performance. After outlining the historical shift from selection for perception to selection for action, we sketch a grounded, embodied and situated account of attention. We then review evidence from classic paradigms (Posner, Eriksen, Egly, Stroop), showing that attention signatures (detection, interference, selection, control) are systematically modulated by action readiness, and argue that the traditional 'office-worker' posture underlying these paradigms may have shaped how attention itself has been theoretically conceptualized. We discuss how action-linked visual processes and bodily contributions to cognitive control account for attention modulation and address reliability and contextual challenges. Finally, we propose to integrate physiological measures, motor states and real-world contexts into future research on embodied attention with the aim of eventually reframing attention as a functional enactive process.
