Abstract: 

Individuals vary in their preferences for where they look in a face, with some fixating near the eyes and others closer to the mouth region. These biases generalize from the lab to the world, are individually optimal for face recognition and can have clinical significance. However, the mechanisms underlying individual face gaze are unclear. Analyzing over a million fixations to faces and inanimate objects from hundreds of observers, we show that individual fixation biases generalize from faces to objects. We conclude that individual face fixation biases are driven by domain-general mechanisms.
