“…This finding is new and to our knowledge has not been demonstrated previously. Thus, participants were able to use facial motion information exhibited by other‐race faces at encoding as an aid to recognition, as they have been seen to do for same‐race faces (Knappmeyer et al , 2003; Lander & Bruce, 2003; Thornton & Kourtzi, 2002). Explanations of the other‐race effect have suggested that individuating information is ignored with categorical/race‐specific information salient during processing of other‐race faces (Hugenberg, Miller, & Claypool, 2007; Levin, 2000).…”

“…Interestingly, our moving faces displayed a naturalistic mixture of predominantly non-rigid (talking, expressing) with some limited rigid (head nodding and shaking) movements. Previously, it has been proposed that seeing the face move rigidly provides more depth and structural facial information regarding the identity of the person (Knappmeyer, Thornton, & Bülthoff, 2003). In addition, Lander et al (2007) proposed that viewing a non-rigidly moving face may lead to greater attention being paid to it, which in turn leads to better recognition.…”

In an experimental study, we assessed the role of motion when encoding and recognizing unfamiliar faces, using an old/new recognition memory paradigm. Our findings revealed a clear advantage for learning unfamiliar faces moving non‐rigidly, compared with static faces. This advantage for motion was found with both same‐ and other‐race faces. Furthermore, results indicate that it is more important that the face is learnt in motion than recognized from a moving clip. Interestingly, despite a reliable other‐race effect being revealed, participants were able to utilize motion information exhibited by other‐race faces in a manner akin to the motion advantage found for same‐race faces. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the nature of the stored face representations, considering whether the facilitative role found here can be explained by factors other than motion per se.

“…At the time, there were two lines of evidence for the supplemental information hypothesis. The first came from clever experiments that pitted the shape of a face (from a three-dimensional laser-scan head model), which could be manipulated with morphing, against characteristic facial motions projected onto heads that varied in shape (Hill and Johnston, 2001;Knappmeyer, Thornton, and Bülthoff, 2001). These studies provided a pre-requisite demonstration that the facial motion in dynamic identity signatures can bias a face identification decision.…”

The human face is a captivating stimulus, even when it is stationary. In motion, however, the face comes to life and offers us a myriad of information about the intent and personality of its owner. Through facial movements such as expressions, we can gauge a person's current state of mind. By perceiving the movements of the mouth as a friend speaks, a conversation becomes more intelligible in a noisy environment. Through the rigid movement of the head and the direction of eye gaze, we can follow another person's focus of attention in a crowded room. The amount and diversity of social information that can be conveyed by a face assures its place as a central focal object in any scene. Beyond the rich communication signals that we perceive in facial expressions, head orientation, eye gaze, and facial speech motions, it is also pertinent to ask whether the movements of a face help us to remember a person. The answer to this question can potentially advance our understanding of how the complex tasks we perform with faces, including those having to do with social interaction and memory, co-exist in a neural processing network. It can also shed light on the computational processes we use to extract recognition cues from the steady stream of facial movements that carry social meanings.Several years ago, we proposed a psychological and neural framework for understanding the contribution of motion to face recognition (O'Toole, Roark, and Abdi, 2002;Roark, Barrett, Spence, Abdi, and O'Toole, 2003). At the time,

“…The process involves the detection and the interpretation of the muscle movements of the face and as well as the observer's own sensitivity, expectations and mental representations on the observed state [19]. Since the generation of emotions involves sequential movements of faces, people differ in terms of how rapid they recognize the emotion as well as the accurateness [16].…”

The Differential Effects of Attachment Orientations on the Perception of Facial Emotional Expressions

Emotional development occurs in the matrix of attachment relationships in the early years and can be defined as a transition "from dyadic regulation from self-regulation of emotion" [1]. The complete dependency of the new born evolves through repeated experiences of distress-relief cycles and shared positive affect between the caregiver and infant [2]. The responsiveness of the caregiver and the synchronicity of this relationship enables the infant develop skills for emotion regulation.Bowlby stated that "the psychology and the psychopathology of emotion are found to be in large part the psychology and psychopathology of affectional bonds" [3]. There is a tremendous amount of research regarding that attachment styles influence the processing of emotion related information and strategies for emotion regulation [4][5][6][7]. The working models that have been established through early experience provide schemas for perceptions and the interpretations about these perceptions and responses that might work as defense mechanisms. Consistently, regarding the emotion perception, the attention and encoding processes of the incoming emotional stimuli would be interpreted congruently with the attachment style people have. Moreover, their behavioural responses would also differ from each other [8].The studies have demonstrated that newborns are born with an innate sensitivity to the facial expressions that provide the chances The Differential Effects of Attachment Orientations on the Perception of Facial Emotional Expressions AbstractThe present study investigated the differences of perception of facial expressions among different attachment orientations. The study was conducted with 356 university students (202 female and 154 male). The participants were given Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) scale to assess their adult attachment style and Morph Movie Task to assess their sensitivity to emotion information. The research has demonstrated that attachment security of childhood influences on cognitive and emotion development, providing a framework for the later relationships. Given the importance of social functioning on wellbeing, it is crucial to understand the possible underlying mechanism of impairments. For that purpose, this study focused on the perception of facial expressions which serves as the general emotional cue in social interactions. In order to examine the perceptual differences, morph video tasks have been used. It has been hypothesized that attachment anxiety is related to increased sensitivity to the changes in emotional information, whereas avoidant individuals are expected to disregard the incoming information. The results for categorical analysis revealed that dismissing individuals detected both the offset and onset of the emotion later compared to secure and preoccupied participants and preoccupied individuals detected the offset earlier than fearful individuals. On the other hand, the hierarchical regression analysis of attachment dimensions showed that only attachment avoidance predi...
