expression 3
The Simulationist model of emotion recognition argues that
Select one or more:

producing the same expression
b. Emotion recognition accuracy increases when muscles associated with the
expression being observed are blocked
c. We are better at recognising expressions if we are also consciously
producing the same expression
d. Facial feedback from a mimicked expression impairs facial expression
recognition
e. Automatic mimicry improves facial expression recognition
The correct answers are:
Automatic mimicry improves facial expression recognition,
We are better at recognising expressions if we are also consciously producing the
same expression, We are better at recognising expressions if we are also
unconsciously producing the same expression
Question 6
Correct
Marked out of 1.00
expression 4
Which of the following statements is true regarding the perceptual mechanisms
involved in facial expression recognition?
Select one or more:
a. We use featural processing only to recognise facial expressions

d. Facial expression recognition relies on configural information
predominantly, and some featural processing (but not holistic
processing)

We use holistic, featural and configural processing to correctly identify facial
expressions of emotion

norm
