UK courts are missing a fundamental piece of information about eyewitness evidence according to new research led by School of Psychology's Dr Travis Seale-Carlisle.

Does past visual experience influence facial first impressions? Our new research with C Sutherland, L Jeffery, S Maisey, @MauroManassi shows that trustworthiness impressions are influenced by previously seen faces, even by emotional expressions.

Thanks to all the co-authors, especially the amazing David Pascucci
@David__Pascucci
for reviving this project which started a looong time ago! Our article is available at https://t.co/MDnyMayFQd… 6/6 🧵

[Mauro Manassi @MauroManassi]

It has been proposed that schizophrenia patients rely more on sensory input and less on prior information. According to this view, they are less affected by visual illusions that rely on perceptual priors. But is this really true?(https://t.co/hs5Vf0ebnL) 1/6🧵

[Mauro Manassi @MauroManassi]

These findings, which do not replicate previous ones, challenge the notion that reduced serial dependence (and less reliance on prior info) is a universal characteristic of the disease, suggesting instead that these effects may be specific to certain paradigms and stimuli. 5/6🧵

@j_greenwood Congrats John! 🙂

"Music when we were growing up was the best. Everything these days is so terrible."

Turns out across every single generation, quality of music peaks at age 17 and you begin to start hating any music made after you're 35.

The Nostalgia Effect is powerful!
