Increased perceptual distraction and task demand enhances gaze and non-biological cuing effects (2020)
Journal Article
Gregory, S., & Jackson, M. (2021). Increased perceptual distraction and task demand enhances gaze and non-biological cuing effects. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 74(2), 221-240. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747021820959633

This study aims to improve understanding of how distracting information and target task demands influence the strength of gaze and non-biological (arrow and moving line) cuing effects. Using known non-predictive central cues, we manipulated the degre... Read More about Increased perceptual distraction and task demand enhances gaze and non-biological cuing effects.

A cross-cultural investigation into the influence of eye gaze on working memory for happy and angry faces (2020)
Journal Article
Gregory, S., Langton, S., Yoshikawa, S., & Jackson, M. (2020). A cross-cultural investigation into the influence of eye gaze on working memory for happy and angry faces. Cognition and Emotion, 34(8), 1561-1572. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2020.1782353

Previous long-term memory (LTM) research found that angry faces were more poorly recognised when encoded with averted vs. direct gaze, while memory for happy faces was unaffected by gaze. Contrastingly, working memory (WM) accuracy for angry faces wa... Read More about A cross-cultural investigation into the influence of eye gaze on working memory for happy and angry faces.
