Infants use information on gaze direction and facial expressions for social referencing when encountering various objects in their environment. However, it remains unclear how these social cues influence attentional orienting in infants. Using event-related potentials (ERPs), we investigated the neural correlates of attentional orienting cued by an averted gaze with neutral and fearful expressions in 12-month-olds. We focused on the ERPs in response to a face (N290, P400, and Nc) as well as a saccade toward the target (the presaccadic spike potential: SP) and found that the amplitudes of the face-sensitive ERPs (N290 and P400) were larger for directed than averted gaze direction irrespective of facial expression. Furthermore, the amplitude of the SP involved in overt orienting was larger for fearful expressions than for neutral expressions, irrespective of gaze congruency. These results suggest that information on gaze direction and facial expression, specifically neutral and fearful expressions, may be processed independently, and that fearful expressions dominantly influence the neural correlates of attentional orienting in infants around 12 months of age.
