“…As we have previously described 22 , 24 , 39 , for the five days prior to the experimental trial, participants were instructed to go to bed every night between 23:00 and 24:00, wake up between 7:00 and 9:00, sleep at least seven hours per night, refrain from napping, and avoid drinking more than three caffeinated beverages per day. In order to monitor their sleep during this period and ensure that they went to bed as instructed, the participants wore an actigraph on each night.…”

“…As we have previously described 22 , 24 , 29 , participants wore actigraphs on their wrist throughout the entire experimental session to verify that they remained awake and that they stayed under the laboratory’s controlled conditions (25 °C, ~ 500 lx lights on continually, sunlight undetectable). Participants did not smoke or consume food or beverages containing caffeine or cocoa, and were served organized meals at scheduled times under supervision.…”

The ability to recognize emotions from facial expressions is essential to the development of complex social cognition behaviors, and impairments in this ability are associated with poor social competence. This study aimed to examine the effects of sleep deprivation on the processing of emotional facial expressions and nonfacial stimuli in young adults with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Thirty-five men (mean age 25.4) with (n = 19) and without (n = 16) ADHD participated in the study. During the five days preceding the experimental session, the participants were required to sleep at least seven hours per night (23:00/24:00–7:00/9:00) and their sleep was monitored via actigraphy. On the morning of the experimental session, the participants completed a 4-stimulus visual oddball task combining facial and nonfacial stimuli, and repeated it after 25 h of sustained wakefulness. At baseline, both study groups had poorer performance in response to facial rather than non-facial target stimuli on all indices of the oddball task, with no differences between the groups. Following sleep deprivation, rates of omission errors, commission errors and reaction time variability increased significantly in the ADHD group but not in the control group. Time and target type (face/non-face) did not have an interactive effect on any indices of the oddball task. Young adults with ADHD are more sensitive to the negative effects of sleep deprivation on attentional processes, including those related to the processing of emotional facial expressions. As poor sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness are common in individuals with ADHD, it is feasible that poor sleep quality and quantity play an important role in cognitive functioning deficits, including the processing of emotional facial expressions that are associated with ADHD.

“…Morphing sad/happy with neutral could more closely produce natural expressions, compared with morphing between different expressions (Janek and Martin, 2015). The morphing method in the current study was used in previous studies (e.g., Kamachi et al, 2001; Bui et al, 2015; D’Hondt et al, 2015; Jackson and Arlegui-prieto, 2016; Nakajima et al, 2017; Orrie et al, 2018).…”

Working Memory Maintenance Modulates Serial Dependence Effects of Perceived Emotional Expression

The stability of face perception is vital in interpersonal interactions. Recent studies have revealed the mechanism of the stability in the perception of stable attributes of faces (such as facial identity) by serial dependence, a phenomenon in which perception of current stimuli is pulled toward recently viewed stimuli. However, whether serial dependence of perceived emotional expression (a changeable attribute of faces) exists remains controversial, and its exact nature has not been examined yet. To address these issues, we used the methods of constant stimuli and two-interval forced choice tasks in three psychophysical experiments. Participants compared two successive facial expressions selected from a continuum with 50 morphed faces ranging from sad to happy. Experiment 1a and 1b showed that a perceived facial expression pulled toward previously seen facial expressions (i.e., a significant serial dependence effect), independent of response instructions. Furthermore, a stronger serial dependence effect was found when the first facial expression was retained in working memory for a longer delay duration (Experiment 2), and yet a weaker serial dependence effect was observed when a longer delay between decision and response was performed (Experiment 3). These findings indicate that serial dependence facilitates the stability of facial expression perception and is modulated by working memory representations.
