UWA Person Perception

We research how people extract, process and use information about others. We were part of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders.

(7/7) We wish to thank the thousands of citizen scientists and participants — recruited in-person and online at https://t.co/JeXwLUkI0n — whose efforts enabled the multiple replications and large samples that give solidity to these findings.

(6/7) Our discoveries underscore the value of good face recognition while suggesting likely struggles associated with poor face recognition. This insight helps us to better understand and support those with varying abilities.

Long COVID, often reported to cause Brain Fog, may also cause #prosopagnosia #faceblindness, say researchers at Dartmouth College USA. Individuals affected can struggle to recognise even close friends and family https://t.co/16Jx2LmEET

Time to clear up some of the misconceptions and incorrect claims in this thread and accompanying paper:

These neural responses were observed in the absence of explicit instructions to attend to facial trustworthiness.

Free download latest paper from @PersonPercept student Saba Siddique’s PhD. Using FPVS we found that 8-9 year old children show reliable neural responses to variations in facial trustworthiness that didn’t differ in strength from adult responses.

Great to see interest in this fab new paper from @PersonPercept PhD student Saba Siddique 👍😀

[Bastian Jaeger @bxjaeger]

In a repeated economic game, children first relied on partners' facial trustworthiness to make decisions. But by the end of the game, they had overcome this bias and switched to relying on partners' previous behavior.

Check out our newest paper on face-blindness.
Lots of research has focused on finding one explanation for why people can’t recognise faces, but we think there are (at least) two! A 🧵… (1/8)
