Men and women explore the visual world differently
- adrianhoward 14y agoAnybody got access to the original paper? I'd be interested for how they controlled for this (e.g. they talked about threat assessment in the OP - is that down to biological gender differences, or learned behaviour - e.g. would males with builds/experiences that seem to make them more likely to need to evaluate threat have similar patterns). The "The study represents the most compelling evidence yet that, despite occupying the same world, the viewpoints of men and women can, at times, be very different." line is overstated also. There's been compelling evidence for some time that male/female visions systems are interestingly different in places. For example: * Colour perception - http://www.journalofvision.org/content/12/1/18.full http://www.journalofvision.org/content/12/1/18.full * Peripheral vision - http://www.citeulike.org/user/neilh/article/1181022 http://www.citeulike.org/user/neilh/article/1181022 Not seen anything on the eye tracking front before - but I'm mildly suspicious of the way it's presented since we already know that eye tracking exhibits cultural effects (e.g. the F-pattern in left-right-top-down reading cultures).
