Cross-modal Bias of Voice Tone on Facial Expression: Upper versus Lower Halves of a Face
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emotional states are communicated by seeing the face as well as by listening to affective prosody. The two inputs can also be present at the same time and are then processed concurrently. The present experiment examines the role of the voice on the upper versus lower halves of a face. Previous research using an angry-fear facial expression continuum showed that recognition of the lower half of a face was nearly at chance level. Our experiment asked whether in these circumstances the impact of the voice would be the same for both face halves. The results showed that the cross-modal effect of the voice was the same for the two face conditions

The contribution of the upper and lower face in happy and sad facial expression classification
We used a happy/sad classification task and a psychophysical model to study the tuning properties of facial expression processors across viewing conditions. Using morphed faces, in this study we measured the extent to which classification of facial expressions depends on the intensity of a particular expression on either the upper or lower face. In the fovea, the upper and lower parts of the te...
متن کاملHybridization of Facial Features and Use of Multi Modal Information for 3D Face Recognition
Despite of achieving good performance in controlled environment, the conventional 3D face recognition systems still encounter problems in handling the large variations in lighting conditions, facial expression and head pose The humans use the hybrid approach to recognize faces and therefore in this proposed method the human face recognition ability is incorporated by combining global and local ...
متن کاملCovert processing of faces in prosopagnosia is restricted to facial expressions: evidence from cross-modal bias.
We present a single case study of a brain-damaged patient, AD, suffering from visual face and object agnosia, with impaired visual perception and preserved mental imagery. She is severely impaired in all aspects of overt recognition of faces as well as in covert recognition of familiar faces. She shows a complete loss of processing facial expressions in recognition as well as in matching tasks....
متن کاملPriming global and local processing of composite faces: revisiting the processing-bias effect on face perception
We used the composite-face illusion and Navon stimuli to determine the consequences of priming local or global processing on subsequent face recognition. The composite-face illusion reflects the difficulty of ignoring the task-irrelevant half-face while attending the task-relevant half if the half-faces in the composite are aligned. On each trial, participants first matched two Navon stimuli, a...
متن کاملSensitivity to ‘‘bad Genes’’ and the Anomalous Face Overgeneralization Effect: Cue Validity, Cue Utilization, and Accuracy in Judging Intelligence and Health
The bad genes and anomalous face overgeneralization accounts of facial preferences were tested by examining cue validity, cue utilization, and accuracy in judging health and intelligence from faces in the upper and lower halves of the distributions of attractiveness and its components: averageness, symmetry, and masculinity. Consistent with the bad genes hypothesis, facial attractiveness, avera...
