Week 5 - Face & Object Recognition

❌ Effect: inverted faces are disproportionately harder to recognise than upright faces relative to objects.

❌ Effect: memory for a face-part is more accurate when presented with the whole face.

❌ Effect: obligatory influence from one (irrelevant) face half on judgements about other (relevant) half.

❌: neural substrate and/or behaviour is selective for a category of stimuli.

❌: exclusive processing of a single domain of stimuli.

❌: the positive or negative character of emotional experience.

❌ Judgements: judgements based on practical and pragmatic considerations when resolving moral dilemmas.

❌: selective attention to threat-related stimuli presented at the same time as neutral stimuli.

❌: the tendency to interpret ambiguous stimuli/situations in a threatening fashion.

❌: the tendency to retrieve mostly negative/unpleasant rather than positive/neutral information on memory tests involving conscious recollection.

❌: the tendency to exhibit superior performance for negative or threatening than neutral or positive information on memory tests not involving conscious recollection.

❌: training typically designed to reduce attentional bias and/or interpretive bias.
