What is it about?
Previous studies with arrows vs. gaze in a spatial interference task show that Gaze might produce an orienting effect shared with other non-social stimuli like arrows, and an additional effect specific to gaze. This study shows that when the shared effect (spatial interference) is reduced by presenting the target simultaneously with the surrounding background, the gaze-specific effect is increased.

Why is it important?
It shows dissociated effects for gaze and arrows and supports the theory that gaze triggers a spatial orienting effect shared with non-social cues, and an additional social effect, specific t gaze.
