When people are engaged in difficult cognitive activity (e.g., retrieving information from memory, on-line processing, speech planning), they typically look away from the object upon which their attention had previously been focused (be it a face, book, VCR monitor, etc.). This act of ‘gaze aversion’ (GA) can involve a change in one’s head and eye orientation, a change in one’s eye orientation only, or a covering of the eyes.
