Gaze Perception Triggers Reflexive Visuospatial Orienting

Jon Driver, Greg Davis, Paola Ricciardelli et al. · 1 Oct 1999

This paper seeks to bring together two previously separate research traditions: research on spatial orienting within the visual cueing paradigm and research into social cognition, addressing our tendency to attend in the direction that another person looks. Cueing methodologies from mainstream attention research were adapted to test the automaticity of orienting in the direction of…

The Dynamic Representation of Scenes

Ronald A. Rensink · 1 Jan 2000

One of the more powerful impressions created by vision is that of a coherent, richly detailed world where everything is present simultaneously. Indeed, this impression is so compelling that we tend to ascribe these properties not only to the external world, but to our internal representations as well. But results from several recent experiments argue…

Is There a "Language of the Eyes"? Evidence from Normal Adults, and Adults with Autism or Asperger Syndrome

Simon Baron‐Cohen, Sally Wheelwright, and Therese Jolliffe · 1 Sep 1997

Previous work suggests that a range of mental states can be read from facial expressions, beyond the “basic emotions”. Experiment 1 tested this in more detail, by using a standardized method, and by testing the role of face parts (eyes vs. mouth vs. the whole face). Adult subjects were shown photographs of an actress posing…

Reflexive Visual Orienting in Response to the Social Attention of Others

Steve Langton, Vicki Bruce · 1 Oct 1999

Four experiments investigate the hypothesis that cues to the direction of another's social attention produce a reflexive orienting of an observer's visual attention. Participants were asked to make a simple detection response to a target letter which could appear at one of four locations on a visual display. Before the presentation of the target, one…

Visual Cognition template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Visual Cognition format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Visual Cognition template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Visual Cognition use?
Visual Cognition uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Visual Cognition 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Visual Cognition?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Visual Cognition document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
