the gaze to initiate

I think the ST is missing "para" between mirada and iniciar.

"...did not use his/her gaze to initiate, end or regulate during social interactions."

Peer comment(s):

agree	philgoddard : Maybe "did not use eye contact to begin, manage or end social interactions". You don't need to say "during". 4 mins
	Thanks, Phil. Yes, I prefer your phrasing, and you're right about "during", though I'm not sure what kind of register is needed here.
agree	franglish : with Phil. 14 days
	Thanks, Franglish.
