Iconic faces are not real faces: enhanced emotion detection and altered neural processing as faces become more iconic
Iconic representations are ubiquitous; they fill children's cartoons, add humor to newspapers, and bring emotional tone to online communication. Yet, the communicative function they serve remains unaddressed by cognitive psychology. Here, we examined the hypothesis that iconic representations communicate emotional information more efficiently than their realistic counterparts. In Experiment 1, ...
متن کاملHidden Emotions in Iconic Faces
Most of the time, humans use texts to exchange information and more recently they can add iconic faces (or smiley) to introduce emotional content. What emotions can be conveyed by iconic faces? To understand better this question we conducted an experimentation in which we asked participants to interpret a set of iconic faces by selecting an emotion in a proposed list of faces. Results indicated...
متن کاملUnfamiliar faces are not faces: evidence from a matching task.
It is difficult to match two images of the same unfamiliar face, even under good conditions. Here, we show that there are large individual differences on unfamiliar face matching. Initially, we tried to predict these using tests of visual short-term memory, cognitive style, and perceptual speed. Moderate correlations were produced by various components of these tests. In three other experiments...
متن کاملNeandertal faces were not long; modern human faces are short.
Neandertal faces have been described as being derived with respect to their overall length or degree of anterior projection. A comparison of cranial and mandibular indicators of lower facial projection across archaic and modern Homo indicates that Neandertal facial lengths on average are similar to those of preceding archaic Homo and principally contrast with those of recent humans. Neandertal ...
متن کاملHuman Faces Are Slower than Chimpanzee Faces
BACKGROUND While humans (like other primates) communicate with facial expressions, the evolution of speech added a new function to the facial muscles (facial expression muscles). The evolution of speech required the development of a coordinated action between visual (movement of the lips) and auditory signals in a rhythmic fashion to produce "visemes" (visual movements of the lips that correspo...
