“…We have demonstrated in the current study that identity-dependent expression aftereffects are not the result of local adaptation to image elements of the faces. The existence of an identity-dependent neural representations of expression is also consistent with a number of previous studies (Baudouin, Martin, Tiberghien, Verlut, & Franck, 2002;Ganel, Goshen-Gottstein, & Ganel, 2004;Schweinberger, Burton, & Kelly, 1999;Schweinberger & Soukup, 1998). For example, a recent study of neural responses in monkeys demonstrated that the responses of cells in the amygdala to facial expression depended upon the identity of the monkey demonstrating that expression (Kuraoka & Nakamura, 2006).…”

Previous studies have demonstrated the existence of adaptation aftereffects for facial expressions. Here we investigated which aspects of facial stimuli contribute to these aftereffects. In Experiment 1 we examined the role of local adaptation to image elements such as curvature, shape and orientation, independent of expression, by using hybrid faces constructed from either the same or opposing expressions. While hybrid faces made with consistent expressions generated aftereffects as large as that with normal faces, there were no aftereffects from hybrid faces made from different expressions, despite the fact that these contained the same local image elements. In Experiment 2 we examined the role of facial features independent of the normal face configuration, by contrasting adaptation with whole faces to adaptation with scrambled faces. We found that scrambled faces also generated significant aftereffects, indicating that expressive features without a normal facial configuration could generate expression aftereffects. In Experiment 3 we examined the role of facial configuration by using schematic faces made from line elements that in isolation do not carry expression-related information (e.g. curved segments and straight lines), but that convey an expression when arranged in a normal facial configuration. We obtained a significant aftereffect for facial configurations but not scrambled configurations of these line elements. We conclude that face expression aftereffects are not due to local adaptation to image elements but due to high-level adaptation of neural representations that involve both facial features and facial configuration.

“…RTs for identity judgments were not influenced by variations in expression, but expression recognition was affected by variation in identity. Similar results were obtained by Atkinson, Tipples, Burt, and Young (2005), who investigated the relationship between facial emotion expression and facial gender, and by Baudouin, Martin, Tiberghien, Verlut, and Franck (2002), who evaluated attention to facial identity and expression in both healthy individuals and individuals with schizophrenia. The results pointed to an asymmetric interaction between facial identity and the discrimination of facial expressions, with expression judgments more affected than identity and gender judgments more affected by variations in the other dimension.…”

Interactions between facial emotion and identity in face processing: Evidence based on redundancy gains

Interactions between the processing of emotion expression and form-based information from faces (facial identity) were investigated using the redundant-target paradigm, in which we specifically tested whether identity and emotional expression are integrated in a superadditive manner (Miller, Cognitive Psychology 14:247-279, 1982). In Experiments 1 and 2, participants performed emotion and face identity judgments on faces with sad or angry emotional expressions. Responses to redundant targets were faster than responses to either single target when a universal emotion was conveyed, and performance violated the predictions from a model assuming independent processing of emotion and face identity. Experiment 4 showed that these effects were not modulated by varying interstimulus and nontarget contingencies, and Experiment 5 demonstrated that the redundancy gains were eliminated when faces were inverted. Taken together, these results suggest that the identification of emotion and facial identity interact in face processing.

“…In these studies, participants typically fail to ignore irrelevant variations in the identity or gender of faces when processing facial expression, but not vice versa (e.g., Atkinson, Tipples, Burt, & Young, 2005;Baudouin, Martin, Tiberghien, Verlut, & Franck, 2002; Schwein berger & Soukup, 1998). Schweinberger, Burton, and Kelly (1999) examined whether differences in the relative processing speed of the two face dimensions were responsible for this asymmetric Garner interference effect (see also Atkinson et al, 2005;Ganel & Goshen-Gottstein, 2004).…”

Theoretical BackgroundBruce and classical model of face recognition assumes parallel processing of facial identity and expression within functionally independent processing pathways. According to this model, faces are initially processed at a common stage of structural encoding, after which processing bifurcates into the analysis of different aspects of the face, such as facial identity, expression, and speech. The facial identity pathway is assumed to rely on viewpoint-and expression-independent descriptions of faces that are stored in face recognition units (FRUs), which contain the structural codes of familiar faces. In the functionally independent expression pathway, processing of facial expression occurs in parallel with that within the identity pathway. The assumption of independent identity and expression pathways has received support from behavioral, neurophysiological, and brain-imaging studies (e.g., Bruce, 1986;Bruce & Young, 1986;Ellis, Young, & Flude, 1990;Hasselmo, Rolls, & Baylis, 1989;Sergent, Ohta, Macdonald, & Zuck, 1994;Tranel, Damasio, & Damasio, 1988;Young, McWeeny, Hay, & Ellis, 1986;Young, Newcombe, & Haan, 1993). However, as we will outline in more detail below, more recent face perception studies have challenged, on various grounds, this assumption of parallel and independent processing pathways (see Calder & Young, 2005;Martens, Leuthold, & Schweinberger, 2010). The present psychophysiological study further investigates this issue by examining the influence of task-related and stimulus-related factors on the processing of facial identity and expression.Doubts about the parallel model of face perception and its assumption of independent identity and expression processing have originated from behavioral face perception studies using the Garner interference task (see Garner, 1976). In these studies, participants typically fail to ignore irrelevant variations in the identity or gender of faces when processing facial expression, but not vice versa (e.g., Atkinson, Tipples, Burt, & Young, 2005;Baudouin, Martin, Tiberghien, Verlut, & Franck, 2002; Schwein berger & Soukup, 1998). Schweinberger, Burton, and Kelly (1999) examined whether differences in the relative processing speed of the two face dimensions were responsible for this asymmetric Garner interference effect (see also Atkinson et al., 2005;Ganel & Goshen-Gottstein, 2004). To this end, they manipulated the time demands for facial identity and expression analysis, using faces that were morphed along happy-sad and familiar-unfamiliar dimensions. Critically, reaction time (RT) performance in the expression classification task was impeded by irrelevant variations in facial identity even for stimulus 505© 2010 The Psychonomic Society, Inc.On the temporal organization of facial identity and expression analysis: Inferences from event-related brain potentials ULLA MARTENSUniversity of Osnabrück, Osnabrück, Germany HARTMUT LEUTHOLDUniversity of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland AND STEFAN R.
