Whether the eyes are “the window of the soul” is _1_; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. _2_ the first two months of a baby’s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a _3_ with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in _4_. This attraction to eyes _5_ opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby _6_. In one study, when American four-year-old were asked to draw people, 75% of them drew people with mouths, but 99% of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are _7_ their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much _8_ to eyes as they do in other cultures. _9_, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the “proper place to _10_ one’s gaze during a conversation in Japan is _11_ the neck of one’s conversation partner”.
The role of eye _12_ in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for _13_ one second, then glance _14_ as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or _15_ themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away _16_. Listeners, _17_, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they _18_ at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are _19_ and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will end the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational _20_ becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.
