Biased judgments of emotion are resistant to changes in the prevalence of anger
Emotional expressions are often nuanced and are thus evaluated with an unavoidable degree of uncertainty. We recently showed that perceivers are biased to interpret others' expressions negatively, especially when they are seen in crowds. We argued that the flexible nature of this bias is protective, and that it emerges because perceivers learn about the threatening nature of crowds over prolonged windows of time. Here we evaluated whether this ne…
Ensemble perception in entitativity judgments of natural crowds
Amplification in the evaluation of multiple emotional expressions over time
Perceptual averaging of facial expressions requires visual awareness and attention
Role of embodiment and presence in human perception of robots’ facial cues
Sensitive perception of a person’s direction of walking by 4-year-old children
Watch any crowded intersection, and you will see how adept people are at reading the subtle movements of one another. While adults can readily discriminate small differences in the direction of a moving person, it is unclear if this sensitivity is in place early in development. Here, we present evidence that 4-year-old children are sensitive to small differences in a person's direction of walking (∼7°) far beyond what has been previously shown. T…
Detecting and categorizing fleeting emotions in faces
Expressions of emotion are often brief, providing only fleeting images from which to base important social judgments. We sought to characterize the sensitivity and mechanisms of emotion detection and expression categorization when exposure to faces is very brief, and to determine whether these processes dissociate. Observers viewed 2 backward-masked facial expressions in quick succession, 1 neutral and the other emotional (happy, fearful, or angr…
