Human Agency Beliefs Influence Joint Attention Behaviour

In this study, we compared the eye-movements of participants as they completed a joint attention game with a virtual partner or avatar. Half of the participants believed that the avatar was controlled by another human. The other half were correctly informed that the avatar was controlled by a computer algorithm.
