早些时候的研究表明，面部吸引力可能会吸引旁中央的注意力。然而，人们对中央凹旁视觉和周边视觉如何很好地检测到面部美知之甚少。在这项研究中，参与者判断在中央注视的几个偏心位置同时出现的一对面孔的相对吸引力。结果表明，美不仅可以在副中央检测到，而且可以在外围检测到。在中央凹处的辨别表现与中央凹周围的表现没有区别。此外，即使在外围国家，其表现也远高于预期。结果表明，视觉系统能够利用低空间频率信息来评价吸引力。这些发现不仅解释了为什么当中央视觉已经集中在其他地方时，一张漂亮的脸能吸引人们的注意力，而且还揭示了快速扫描一群脸的吸引力的潜在手段。
Earlier research suggests that facial attractiveness may capture attention at parafovea. However, little is known about how well facial beauty can be detected at parafoveal and peripheral vision. Participants in this study judged relative attractiveness of a face pair presented simultaneously at several eccentricities from the central fixation. The results show that beauty is not only detectable at parafovea but also at periphery. The discrimination performance at parafovea was indistinguishable from the performance around the fovea. Moreover, performance was well above chance even at the periphery. The results show that the visual system is able to use the low-spatial-frequency information to appraise attractiveness. These findings not only provide an explanation why a beautiful face could capture attention when central vision is already engaged elsewhere, but also reveal the potential means by which a crowd of faces is quickly scanned for attractiveness.
