Greebles were initially designed to serve as control stimuli for faces, but people do not always process these objects as they do faces. People spend more time looking at objects that they find attractive. 29 participants viewed pairs of faces and objects and were asked to select the more attractive image. Participants spent significantly more time looking at the face, geon, chair and string object they preferred. However, preferred Greebles were not looked at longer than the non-preferred Greebles. The current results indicate that Greebles may not serve as adequate control stimuli in tasks of facial attractiveness.
