• Adaptive attunement of selective covert attention to evolutionary-relevant emotional visual scenes 

      Fernández-Martín, Andrés ; Gutiérrez-García, Aida; Capafons, Juan; Calvo, Manuel G (Consciousness and Cognition, 05/2017)
      We investigated selective attention to emotional scenes in peripheral vision, as a function of adaptive relevance of scene affective content for male and female observers. Pairs of emotional neutral images appeared ...
    • Extrafoveal capture of attention by emotional scenes: affective valence versus visual saliency 

      Fernández-Martín, Andrés ; Calvo, Manuel G (Visual Cognition, 2015)
      Pairs of emotional (pleasant or unpleasant) and neutral scenes were presented peripherally (5 degrees away from fixation) during a central letter-discrimination task. Selective attentional capture was assessed by means of ...
    • Influence of eye movements, auditory perception, and phonemic awareness in the reading process 

      Megino-Elvira, Laura ; Martín-Lobo, Pilar ; Vergara-Moragues, Esperanza (The Journal of Educational Research, 2016)
      The authors' aim was to analyze the relationship of eye movements, auditory perception, and phonemic awareness with the reading process. The instruments used were the King-Devick Test (saccade eye movements), the PAF test ...

      Chaudhary, Gopal; Lamba, Puneet Singh; Jolly, Harman Singh; Poply, Sakaar; Khari, Manju; Verdú, Elena (Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
      The current work aims to facilitate interaction with others to those with the inability to perform activities requiring motor skills or those who cannot speak. It proposes a modus operandi or a system based on Histogram ...
    • Selective gaze direction and interpretation of facial expressions in social anxiety 

      Gutiérrez-García, Aida; Fernández-Martín, Andrés ; Del Líbano, Mario; Calvo G, Manuel (Personality and Individual Differences, 01/09/2019)
      Fear of negative evaluation is the hallmark of social anxiety. We examined the hypothesis that, to facilitate detection of negative evaluators, an anticipatory coping strategy in social anxiety involves selective early ...
    • Selective orienting to pleasant versus unpleasant visual scenes 

      Fernández-Martín, Andrés ; Calvo, Manuel G (Cognitions, 10/2016)
      We investigated the relative attentional capture by positive versus simultaneously presented negative images in extrafoveal vision for female observers. Pairs of task-irrelevant pleasant and unpleasant visual scenes were ...
    • Time course of selective attention to face regions in social anxiety: eye-tracking and computational modelling 

      Calvo, Manuel G.; Gutiérrez-García, Aida; Fernández-Martín, Andrés (Cognition and Emotion, 03/10/2019)
      We investigated the time course of selective attention to face regions during judgment of dis/approval by low (LSA) and high (HSA) social anxiety undergraduates (with clinical levels on questionnaire measures). The viewers’ ...
    • Visual attention mechanisms in happiness versus trustworthiness processing of facial expressions 

      Calvo G, Manuel; Krumhuber, Eva G.; Fernández-Martín, Andrés (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 04/2019)
      A happy facial expression makes a person look (more) trustworthy. Do perceptions of happiness and trustworthiness rely on the same face regions and visual attention processes? In an eye-tracking study, eye movements and ...
