Culture shapes perception so fundamentally that it may determine the way we look at faces.
East Asians focus their gazes on the center of faces; Westerners looked to first the eyes, and then to the mouth....
"Western society is very individualist. Asian societies are much more collectivistic," said study co-author Roberto Caldara.
From that perspective, the Western approach to facial recognition is piece-by-piece and intimate. The East Asian approach is both more formal and holistic: peripheral information is gathered, but without direct confrontation.
