Multiple images captured from a single encounter do not promote face learning
We examined whether low-variability (LV) images (i.e., images that incorporate only moment-to-moment changes) also promote generalisation of learning such that novel instances are recognised. Participants viewed a single image, six LV images, or six HV images of a target identity before being asked to recognise novel images of that identity in a face matching task (training stimuli remained visible) or a memory task (training stimuli were removed). In Experiment 1 (n = 71), participants indicated which image(s) in 8-image arrays belonged to the target identity. In Experiment 2 (n = 73), participants indicated whether seque...

Masks wearing off: Changing effects of face masks on trustworthiness over time
In this study, Australian participants (N = 363) rated a series of faces which were either masked, unmasked, or occluded by a non-mask object (computer) in terms of perceived trustworthiness in 2020, 2022, or 2023. The apparent trustworthiness of unmasked faces remained stable across years, but masked faces were rated significantly more trustworthy in 2020 compared to 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, ratings of masked faces, but not unmasked faces, were correlated with participants' attitudes towards wearing masks. Faces occluded by a non-mask object were perceived to be less trustworthy than masked faces. Together, results str...

Running together influences where you look
Perception. 2024 Feb 26:3010066241235112. doi: 10.1177/03010066241235112. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo read this article, you have to constantly direct your gaze at the words on the page. If you go for a run instead, your gaze will be less constrained, so many factors could influence where you look. We show that you are likely to spend less time looking at the path just in front of you when running alone than when running with someone else, presumably because the presence of the other runner makes foot placement more critical.PMID:38409958 | DOI:10.1177/03010066241235112 (Source: Perception)

Fibromyalgia is linked to increased subjective sensory sensitivity across multiple senses
Perception. 2024 Feb 26:3010066241234037. doi: 10.1177/03010066241234037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChanges in subjective sensory sensitivity - reporting sensory stimuli as being atypically intense or weak - are a transdiagnostic symptom of several disorders. The present study documents for the first time the sensory sensitivity profile of fibromyalgia, taking a questionnaire measure that asks about different sensory modalities and both hyper- and hyposensitivity (the Glasgow Sensory Questionnaire, GSQ). The fibromyalgia group had higher overall scores on this measure. This was linked more strongly to sensory hypersens...
