Resumen de Sex differences in the dissociation between social and non-social attention
One of the main goals of the present work is based on a relative sharing of this possibility. In particular, to discern the potential usefulness and/or limitations of the gaze cueing task in detecting cue-specific social attentional, in Chapter 3 we performed a meta-analysis of the behavioral studies examining the quantitative differences in attentional orienting triggered by directional eyegaze vs. arrow stimuli. At same time, the effect of possible moderator variables was also investigated to get a deeper understanding of the cueing phenomenon. Results of this meta-analysis clearly showed that the classic spatial cueing paradigm produces the same attentional effects for social directional cues, such as eye-gaze, and non-social directional cues, such as arrows. These findings question the potential utility of the classic cueing task in revealing social-specific attentional effects.
