研究人员已经证明，由凝视方向引发的注意力转移是反射性的。然而，我们在这里表明，凝视方向的注意力转移并不总是反射性的，而是可以被他人的视角调节的。在实验1中，在两种情况下，图式脸对周边目标的视线被其与目标之间的垂直障碍物所阻挡。然而，在另外两种情况下，面部的视线是清晰的，在这两种情况下，利用深度线索将障碍物置于视线后面。凝视线索只有在视线没有被遮挡的情况下才会转移注意力（即达到联合注意）。在实验2中，无论在何种条件下，箭头提示都没有引起注意转移。这些结果表明，凝视线索引起的注意力转移，而不是箭头线索引起的注意力转移，涉及一个更高的社会认知过程，如对凝视的解释。
Researchers have demonstrated that attentional shift triggered by gaze direction is reflexive. However, here we show that attentional shift by gaze direction was not always reflexive, but could be modulated by another's perspective. In Experiment 1, a schematic face's line of sight to a peripheral target was obstructed by a vertical barrier located between the face and the target under two conditions. However, the line of sight of the face was clear under another two conditions, in which the barrier was located behind the line of sight by utilizing a depth cue. The gaze cue shifted attention only when the line of sight was not blocked (i.e. joint attention was attained). The arrow cue did not shift attention regardless of the obstruction conditions in Experiment 2. These results suggest that attentional shift by gaze cues, but not arrow cues, involve a higher social cognitive process such as interpretation of the gaze.
