In two experiments, we examine and find support for the general hypothesis that memory behavioral information in context of an impression formation task depends on where is located vertical space. These findings extend earlier work showing location shifts spatial attention are influenced by "good up" metaphor. Specifically, show person better metaphor compatible locations (positive upper space negative lower space) than incompatible space). first time person-specific information, general,...
This paper proposes a detailed analysis of bubble dynamics to describe pool boiling heat transfer in extreme wetting scenarios (superhydrophobic vs hydrophilic). A mechanistic approach, based on extensive post-processing allows quantifying the relative advantage superhydrophobic surfaces endorse onset at very low superheats (1-2K) their worse performance associated swift formation an insulating vapour film. Based this analysis, simple biphilic surface is created. The results suggest that for...
Researchers have used eye-tracking measures to explore the relationship between face encoding and recognition, including impact of ethnicity on this relationship. Previous studies offer a variety conflicting conclusions. This confusion may stem from misestimation recognition. First, most previous models fail account for structure data, potentially falling prey Simpson's paradox. Second, assume linear attention (e.g., number fixations to-be-remembered face) recognition accuracy. Two (
People have a remarkable capacity to process and recognize faces. Yet, they fail the faces of individuals from other racial groups - Other-Race Effect (ORE). We investigated role repetition powerful determinant learning memory in reducing ORE. predicted that would improve face learning, particularly for other-race faces, as these are poorly learned based on single presentation. Because own-race easily unique presentation, should benefit less repetition. tested this hypothesis across five...
Prejudices and stereotypes are stubbornly hard to change. Negative images of some social groups seem persist for hundreds, sometimes even thousands, years. For instance, early in the thir...
Based on research in physical anthropology, we argue that brightness marks the abstract category of gender, with light colours marking female gender and dark male gender. In a set three experiments, examine this hypothesis, first speeded classification experiment names presented black white. As expected, white are classified faster than reverse gender-colour combinations. The second relies task involving disambiguation very briefly appearing non-descript stimuli form ‘blobs’. former...
Face individuation involves sensitivity to physical characteristics that provide information about identity. We examined whether Black and White American faces differ in terms of individuating information, perceivers differentially weight when judging same-race cross-race faces. Study 1 analyzed 20 structural metrics (e.g., eye width, nose length) 158 determine which differentiate within each group. High-utility length, height, chin differentiated both groups, low-utility face offered less...
A Cognição Social emergiu em meados dos anos 70 como uma abordagem conceptual genérica com o objectivo de compreender e explicar é que as pessoas se percebem a si próprias aos outros, essas percepções permitem explicar, prever orientar comportamento social. Esta nova constituiu?se base na vasta tradição teórica investigação da Psicologia Social, integra ideias metodologias Cognitiva exploração fundamentos cognitivos fenómenos sociais. Inicialmente, apoiada no paradigma do processamento...
It has been shown that subtle contextual primes produce transient changes in stereotypes (Santos et al., 2012), an effect supposedly caused by both activation of the primed trait and failure belief monitoring. The present research investigated people's ability to avoid influence primes. A first pilot experiment used a subliminal-priming paradigm replicated contamination found following supraliminal priming 2012). Experiment 1 made previous episode stereotypic assembling highly accessible,...
Priming effects in the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) have been explained by a misattribution of prime-related affect to neutral targets. However, measure has criticized for being susceptible intentional use prime-features judgments To isolate contribution unintentional processes, present research expanded on finding that positive can be misattributed familiarity (i.e., positivity-familiarity effect). extent prime-valence is deemed irrelevant target-familiarity, AMP could potentially...
Recent research has emphasised the role of episodic memory in both remembering past events and envisaging future events. On other hand, it been repeatedly shown that judgments about are affected by fluency with which retrieval cues processed. In this paper we investigate whether perceptual also plays a For purpose conducted four experiments. The first experiment replicated recent findings showing stimuli processed fluently tend to be wrongly recognised as having encountered outside...
Abstract Perceived variability is the extent to which individuals perceive group members as being similar one another. Previous research has focused on how: perceived (and measured); information indicative of heterogeneity can lead reductions in stereotypicality; or how stereotype-inconsistent result into increased variability. The present combines three lines a single venue. In previous studies stereotypicality representation was influenced by priming stereotype-unrelated traits an...
Biases in favor of culturally prevalent social ingroups are ubiquitous, but random assignment to arbitrary experimentally created groups is also sufficient create ingroup biases (i.e., the minimal group effect; MGE). The extent which bias arises from specific contexts versus more general psychological tendencies remains unclear. This registered report focuses on three questions. First, how MGE? Second, do critical cultural and individual factors moderate its strength? Third, does MGE...
Perceivers typically exhibit better recognition memory for same-race faces than cross-race faces, a phenomenon known as the effect (CRE). Despite its ubiquity, it is yet unclear whether people are metacognitively aware of CRE. This research thoroughly investigates perceivers' metacognitive awareness CRE across five experiments. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that both prospective (judgments learning) retrospective (confidence) metamemory judgments sensitive to variations in racial category...
ABSTRACT The cross‐race recognition deficit (CRD) involves poorer of faces perceived as compared to the same race. In this literature, research has examined social and perceptual encoding in CRD separately. Recent comparing these strategies shows that based on information (personality traits) enhances face relative (facial features), with a similar effect for both same‐race faces. Expanding research, we conducted three experiments (one pre‐registered), manipulating perception race within...

Psychological research has devoted considerable attention to the relationship between multiple category dimensions that can be extracted from faces. In present studies, we investigated role of experience and learning on way social perceiver deals with dimensions.

We manipulated...
