This preference may lead DP individuals to focus on horizontal facial information and ignore other information. Methods: Experiment 1 explored whether there was a difference in horizontal preference between the DP group ( N = 27) and the control group ( N = 47) and whether this preference was based on facial rotation or low‐level horizontal (vertical) information. Experiments 2a and 2b used behavioral and eye‐movement techniques to explore whether the DP ( N = 73) and control groups ( N = 58) had preferences for horizontal (vertical) configuration. Results: Experiment 1: The results showed that the control group and DP group preferred the horizontal feature information (this preference was not affected by rotation orientation) of faces. Experiments 2a and 2b: The results showed that the DP group had a preference for vertical configuration, while the control group had a preference for horizontal configuration. Conclusions: In summary, the control group and the DP group preferred low‐level horizontal facial information, and these preferences were not affected by facial rotation orientation. However, regarding spacing configuration, the control group preferred a horizontal configuration, whereas the DP group preferred a vertical configuration. This finding is crucial for elucidating the face preferences in individuals with DP and deepening the comprehension of the associated cognitive‐behavioral patterns. 10.1002/dev.70137 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
