Mobile Psych Lab • Room 01
This simple game was designed based on psychological studies investigating infants’ ability to understand others’ gaze direction.
How to play
When a game session starts, a boy closing his eyes is displayed at the center of the screen. It is a good idea to name him before starting this game.
Let your child tap the boy's forehead. Then, the boy opens his eyes, and looks at one of four surrounding objects. Ask your child about the direction toward which the boy is looking. You may do so in several manners; "What does he look at?", "What does he like?", "What does he want to eat?", and so on.
Let your child tap the object the boy is looking at. Did your child correctly understand the boy's gaze direction? Tap a triangle icon to proceed to the next trial. One session consists of 16 trials.
1. Up, down, left, and right
In this exercise, children try to discriminate among up, down, left, and right gaze directions.
2. Distinguishing among oblique gaze directions
Distinguishing among oblique gaze directions might be a harder exercise for infants.
3. Understanding of arrow directions
Since arrows represent directions symbolically, they could be hard to understand for infants.
