Facial width to height ratio (fWHR) is a morphological cue that correlates with sexual dimorphism and social traits. Currently, it unclear how vertical horizontal components of fWHR, distinctly capture faces' information. Using new methodology, we orthogonally manipulated the upper facial bizygomatic test their selective effect in formation impressions. Subjects (n = 90) saw pair faces had select face expressing better different traits (trustworthiness, aggressiveness femininity). We further...

The way new spatial information is encoded seems to be crucial in disentangling the role of decisive regions within memory network (i.e., hippocampus, parahippocampal, parietal, retrosplenial...). Several data sources converge suggest that hippocampus not always involved or indeed necessary for allocentric processing. Hippocampal involvement coding could reflect integration generated by ‘online’ self-related changes. In this fMRI study, participants started encoding several object locations...

Abstract Mediotemporal lobe structures are involved in both spatial processing and long‐term memory. Patient M.R. suffers from amnesia, due to bilateral hippocampal lesion temporoparietal atrophy following carbon monoxide poisoning. We compared his performance immediate memory tasks with the of ten healthy matched participants. Using an reproduction path, we observed a dissociation between three allocentric five egocentric‐updating tasks. His was always impaired on requiring use...

Abstract It has been shown that human judgements of trustworthiness are based on subtle processing specific facial features. However, it is not known if this ability a specifically function, or whether shared among primates. Here we report macaque monkeys ( Macaca Mulatta and Fascicularis) , like humans, display preferential attention to trustworthiness-associated cues in computer-generated faces. Monkeys looked significantly longer at faces categorized priori as trustworthy compared...

Humans beings decide to trust others selectively, often based on the appearance of a face. But how do observers deal with wide variety facial morphologies and, in particular, those outside their own familiar cultural group? Using reverse correlation, data-driven approach explore individuals create internal representations without external biases, we studied generation trustworthy faces by French and Chinese participants (N = 160) within group. Participants selected most or attractive...

Patients with developmental amnesia usually suffer from both episodic and spatial memory deficits. DM, a amnesic, was impaired in her ability to process self-motion (i.e., idiothetic) information while external stable landmarks allothetic) preserved when no processing required. On naturalistic incidental task, DM severely predictably on free cued recall tasks. Interestingly, cued, she more at recalling context than factual or temporal information. Theoretical implications of that...

Deficits in amnesic patients suggest that spatial cognition and episodic memory are intimately related. Among the different types of processing, allocentric, relying on hippocampal formation, egocentric-updated, parieto-temporal connections have both been considered to functionally underlie encoding retrieval. We explore cerebral correlates underlying retrieval words previously learnt outside magnet while performing processes, allocentric egocentric-updated. Subsequently during fMRI,...

Williams syndrome (WS) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental conditions associated with atypical but opposite face-to-face interactions patterns: WS patients overly stare at others, ASD individuals escape eye contact. Whether these behaviors result from dissociable visual processes within the occipito-temporal pathways is unknown. Using high-density electroencephalography, multivariate signal processing algorithms a protocol designed to identify extract evoked activities...

Contrary to expert readers, children learning read have limited ability preprocess letters in parafoveal vision. Parafoveal induce crowding cost: the features of neighboring interfere with target letter identification. We longitudinally studied weight cost and benefit two group (N = 42), during their first school year (Group 1) at end second (Groupe 2). Using a novel digit-tracking method, blurred text was presented rendered unblurred by touching screen, allowing user discover window visible...

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) impacts the quality of life and ability to perform coordinated actions in 5% school-aged children. The body representations individuals with DCD has been questioned, but never assessed. We hypothesize that children have imprecise sensory motor domains. Twenty neurotypical children, seventeen (8-12 years old) twenty adults (25-45 performed both representation tasks: a limb identification movement task. observed lower accuracy task not In tasks, we...

Body representation is described as a fundamental ability to build efficient motor skills. However, no structured and evidence-based program on body currently exists. This study assesses the effectiveness of school-based (ENCOR: EN for 'Enfant' COR 'Corps' in French) abilities skills preschool children. ENCOR focus foundational It was designed with teachers occupational therapists be autonomously achieved by teachers.Twenty-three children aged 5-6 years were included provided education...
