Facial feedback on the perception and memory for emotional faces
Our investigation explores the facial feedback hypothesis in relation to the perception and memory of emotional faces. In Experiment 1, participants rated the valence of happy, neutral, and angry faces of different actors while vertically holding a pen either between their teeth (smile-facilitating condition) or between their lips (smile-inhibiting condition). Results indicated that participants in the teeth condition rated happy faces more posit…
Forward false memories of actions only occur for single and simple actions
Observing a photo depicting an individual about to perform an action can implicitly trigger an automatic forward mental simulation of the action's unfolding. Since automatic processes can lead to errors in source monitoring (i.e. confusing self-generated information with perception), we investigated the tendency to form false memories of forward compared to backward phases of actions. In Experiment 1, participants were presented with a series of …
Forward effects from action observation
After viewing an image representing an action on an object, we recognize the forward states of the seen action faster than the backward states. The present study exploits a variant of a new experimental paradigm to investigate cognitive mechanisms underlying this effect. Participants viewed a series of still photos of unfolding actions on objects, each followed by a photo depicting either one of three (instead of two of the original paradigm) dif…
Action and posture influence the retrieval of memory for objects
The embodied approach states that memory traces are retrieved, at least in part, through a sensorimotor simulation of the original events, i.e., during retrieval we use our body and its sensorimotor pathways to simulate what happened during encoding. Thus, body manipulations that are incongruent with the motor elements involved at encoding should modulate memory performance. To test this hypothesis, we devised two experiments. In Experiment 1, pa…
Story order in attribution of moral responsibility
Discourse comprehension relies on the construction of a mental model that represents the unfolding in time of the events described. In causal scenarios, where the action of one agent (the enabler) temporally precedes and enables the action of another agent (the causer), discourse may reflect the underlying event structure by describing the enabler’s action first and then the causer’s action (story order) or may describe the causer’s action first …
