Abstract:
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the authors. In our Correspondence, we reported that the spatial focus of visual attention can be cued by another’s vergence eye movements. However, we subsequently discovered that there was a mistake in the analysis such that reaction time data were systematically mislabeled. When we reran the analysis on the correctly labeled data, the reported cueing effect no longer reached statistical significance. We are therefore retracting our paper and apologize to the scientific community for any inconvenience caused.
