Abstract(in English) This paper examines the attentional specificity of change in direct gaze relative to non-direct gaze. In addition, it examines which looking-toward or looking-away captures greater visuospatial attention in change in direct gaze. Each experiment conducted a change detection task, and we compared detection accuracy among looking-away, looking-toward, and non-direct gaze change. In experiment 1, we found detection advantage for change in direct gaze compared with non-direct gaze change, and for looking-toward compared with looking-away. In experiment 2, we conducted experiments to exclude possibilities of simple motion detection and a geometrical factor of eyes, and to confirm existence of specificity of face and gaze. These results indicate individuals are sensitive to change in direct, and looking-toward draws more attention than looking-away.
