Step-by-step explanation:

In addition, eye contact may be much more critical when watching a narrative produced by a signer who is actually present. Maintaining eye contact is a signal to the signer that he or she has the floor, whereas a shift in gaze away from the signer can indicate a desire for a conversational turn (Baker, 1977).Oct 1, 2008
