Gaze from Speaker / Other

Identifikator: 11022/0000-0007-F67F-6

Here we investigated whether listeners follow and interpret a person's object-directed gaze to convey speaker intentions when those gaze-cues are time aligned like typical speech-aligned speaker gaze cues (SAME condition) EVEN when that person is in fact also listening (and *not* speaking, DIFFERENT condition). For that, we recorded a female's gaze actions to two objects (apple & glass) in front of her but covered her mouth in the video with a grey bar. These videos where coupled with (her) female or another male's utterance of the type "The apple is taller than the glass." Another male person was partially visible in the recording so that the utterances could have plausibly been produced by either person. Lastly, we aligned the gaze actions and utterances in such a way that they were either congruent (gaze to apple, then to glass to match the order of mentioning), incongruent (gaze to glass first, then to apple) or neutral (no object-directed gaze at all) wrt the utterance. Participants were eyetracked as they watched the videos. They further had to evaluate whether the utterances were correct descriptions of the scene or not by button press. The videos were presented in blocks such that listener first saw and heard neutral videos, then videos with congruent gaze, and lastly videos with incongruent gaze. Voice (female/male = same/different) was varied between participants.
