Description: Joint attention has long been hypothesized to lay the foundation of human sociality. However, there is little empirical evidence directly linking it to higher-level social cognitive processes, especially among healthy adults. Here, we used a gaze-cuing paradigm to examine whether individual differences in low-level socio-attentional processes involving gaze following can be extended to more complex forms of social cognition and behavior, in particular emotion recognition and social conformity.
