Abstract：
Here\'s an all-too-familiar scenario: Person A is staring at person B, and then B turns toward A, and A immediately looks away (a phenomenon we call \'gaze deflection\'). Beyond perceiving lower-level properties here - such as the timing of the eye/head turns - you can also readily perceive seemingly higher-level social dynamics: A got caught staring, and frantically looked away in embarrassment! It seems natural to assume that such social impressions are based on more fundamental representations of what happened when - but here we show that social gaze dynamics are unexpectedly powerful in that they can actually alter (and even reverse) the perceived temporal order of the underlying events. Across eight experiments, observers misperceived B as turning before A, when in fact they turned simultaneously - and even when B was turning after A. Additional controls confirmed that this illusion depends on visual processing (vs. being driven solely by higher-level interpretations), and that it is specific to the perception of social agents (vs. non-social objects). This demonstrates how social perception is tightly integrated into our perceptual experience of the world, and can have powerful consequences for one of the most basic properties that we can perceive: what happens when.
摘要：
这里有一个非常熟悉的场景：人A盯着人B，然后B转向A，A立即将目光移开（我们称之为“凝视偏转”的现象）。除了感知这里的较低级别的属性-例如眼睛/头部转动的时间-您还可以轻松地感知看似更高级别的社会动态：被盯着看，似乎很自然地认为，这样的社会印象是基于对发生的事情的更基本的表征——但是在这里我们表明，社会凝视动态出乎意料地强大，因为它们实际上可以改变（甚至逆转）潜在事件的感知时间顺序。在八个实验中，观察者误认为B在A之前转弯，实际上，他们同时转向-甚至当B在A之后转向时。其他控件证实这种错觉取决于视觉处理（与仅由更高层次的解释驱动)，并且它特定于对社会代理人的看法(与非社会对象)。这证明了社会感知如何紧密地融入我们对世界的感知体验，并且可以对我们可以感知的最基本的属性之一产生强大的影响：何时会发生什么。
