Abstract Judging people on the basis of cultural stereotypes is a ubiquitous facet daily life, yet little known about how this fundamental inferential strategy implemented in brain. Using fMRI, we measured neural activity while participants made judgments likely actor (i.e., person-focus) and location place-focus) series activities, some which were associated with prevailing gender stereotypes. Results revealed that stereotyping was underpinned by areas evaluative processing (e.g., ventral...
Notwithstanding the significant role that human–robot interactions (HRI) will play in near future, limited research has explored neural correlates of feeling eerie response to social robots. To address this empirical lacuna, current investigation examined brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging while a group participants (n = 26) viewed series human–human (HHI) and HRI. Although sites constituting mentalizing network were found respond both types interactions, systematic...
The face is a critical stimulus in person perception, yet little research has considered the efficiency of processing operations through which perceivers glean social knowledge from facial cues. Integrating ideas work on cognition and processing, current ease with invariant aspects can be extracted faces under different viewing conditions. results 2 experiments demonstrated that participants pertaining to sex identity both upright inverted orientations, even when were irrelevant task at...
Abstract Behavioral evidence suggests that during word processing people spontaneously map object, valence, and power information to locations in vertical space. Specifically, whereas “overhead” (e.g., attic), positive party), powerful nouns professor) are associated with “up,” “underfoot” carpet), negative accident), powerless assistant) “down.” What has yet be elucidated, however, is the precise nature of these effects. To explore this issue, an fMRI experiment was undertaken, which...
There is a great need for objective measures of perception and cognition that are reliable at the level individual subject. Although traditional electroencephalography (EEG) techniques can act as valid bio-markers cognition, they typically involve long recording times computation group averages. To overcome these well-known limitations EEG, vision scientists have recently introduced steady state method known fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS). This allows them to study discrimination...
Traditional impression formation studies have focused almost exclusively on the perception and evaluation of isolated individuals. In recent years, however, portrayals third-party encounters between two (or more) people been used increasingly often to probe impressions about interactions relations This tacit paradigm change has revealed an intriguing scope judgments that concern how why relate one another. Though these recruit well-known neural networks formation, their underlying cognitive...
Initial evidence indicates that face-based judgements of socially relevant characteristics such as people's trustworthiness or attractiveness are linked to the configural/holistic processing facial cues. What remains a matter debate, however, is whether actually necessary for normal social occur and it resembles type integrative required identification. To address these issues, we asked well-characterized case acquired prosopagnosia (PS) with marked deficit in holistic face identity rate...
Encoding the internal features of unfamiliar faces poses a perceptual challenge that occasionally results in face recognition errors. Extensive experience with framed by headscarf may, however, enhance perceivers' ability to process facial information. To examine this claim empirically, participants United Arab Emirates and States America completed standard part-whole task. Accuracy on task was examined using 2 (perceiver culture: Emirati vs American) x (face race: white) (probe type: part...
Through a combination of social change and legislative initiatives, the workplace has been transformed from rigidly stereotypical environment (i.e., with males females occupying distinct roles) to an arena that offers equality opportunity for all. Regrettably, however, individuals who perform traditionally counter-stereotypical roles (e.g., male nurses, female pilots) continue experience significant disadvantage dissatisfaction. Why then is this case? The authors explore possibility may be...
