眼神注视已被证明是引导成年人注意力的一种有效线索。这种能力是否从出生时就具备尚不清楚。对出生2到5天的新生儿进行了三项实验。第一项实验重复了先前的发现，即新生儿能够区分直视和回避的目光，并将这一发现从真实面孔扩展到示意性面孔。在实验2和3中，当中央示意性面孔的眼睛运动方向提示周边目标时，新生儿更快地做出扫视动作，但只有当瞳孔的运动可见时才会如此。这些结果表明，新生儿可能表现出一种基本形式的眼神跟随能力。
Eye gaze has been shown to be an effective cue for directing attention in adults. Whether this ability operates from birth is unknown. Three experiments were carried out with 2- to 5-day-old newborns. The first experiment replicated the previous finding that newborns are able to discriminate between direct and averted gaze, and extended this finding from real to schematic faces. In Experiments 2 and 3 newborns were faster to make saccades to peripheral targets cued by the direction of eye movement of a central schematic face, but only when the motion of the pupils was visible. These results suggest that newborns may show a rudimentary form of gaze following.
