我们研究了说话者和听者眼球运动之间的耦合。一些参与者即兴谈论了他们正在面前的屏幕上观看的一个电视节目的演员。随后，其他参与者在观看同一屏幕时聆听了这些独白。所有说话者和听者的眼球运动都被记录下来。根据交叉递归分析，在延迟2秒时，听者的眼动与说话者的眼动最接近。事实上，听者的眼球运动与说话者的眼球运动结合得越紧密，听者在理解测试中的表现就越好。在第二个实验中，低水平的视觉线索被用来操纵听者的眼球运动，而这反过来又影响了他们对理解问题的潜伏期。正如眼球运动反映了一个人的心理状态一样，说话者和听话者的眼球运动之间的耦合反映了他们交流的成功。
We investigated the coupling between a speaker's and a listener's eye movements. Some participants talked extemporaneously about a television show whose cast members they were viewing on a screen in front of them. Later, other participants listened to these monologues while viewing the same screen. Eye movements were recorded for all speakers and listeners. According to cross-recurrence analysis, a listener's eye movements most closely matched a speaker's eye movements at a delay of 2 sec. Indeed, the more closely a listener's eye movements were coupled with a speaker's, the better the listener did on a comprehension test. In a second experiment, low-level visual cues were used to manipulate the listeners' eye movements, and these, in turn, influenced their latencies to comprehension questions. Just as eye movements reflect the mental state of an individual, the coupling between a speaker's and a listener's eye movements reflects the success of their communication.
