The perception of emotion in body expressions
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2014During communication, we perceive and express emotional information through many different channels, including facial expressions, prosody, body motion, and posture. Although historically the human body has been perceived primarily as a tool for actions, there is now increased understanding that the body is also an important medium for emotional ...

Perception of Faces and Bodies
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2004Human faces and bodies are both complex and interesting perceptual objects, and both convey important social information. Given these similarities between faces and bodies, we can ask how similar are the visual processing mechanisms used to recognize them. It has long been argued that faces are subject to dedicated and unique perceptual processes, but

Archives of General Psychiatry, 1966
"This volume grew out of a symposium on the Body Percept held at the XVII International Congress of Psychology in Washington, D. C., on August 23, 1963. Papers were presented by Drs. Critchley, Fisher and Cleveland, Witkin, Wapner and Werner; Dr. de Ajuriaguerra served as discussant." It would be impossible, in this review, to give critical attention ...

Haptic experience of bodies alters body perception
PerceptionResearch on media's effects on body perception has mainly focused on the role of vision of extreme body types. However, haptics is a major part of the way children experience bodies. Playing with unrealistically thin dolls has been linked to the emergence of body image concerns, but the perceptual mechanisms remain unknown.

The emotional body and time perception
Cognition and Emotion, 2015We examined the effects of emotional bodily expressions on the perception of time. Participants were shown bodily expressions of fear, happiness and sadness in a temporal bisection task featuring different stimulus duration ranges. Stimulus durations were judged to be longer for bodily expressions of fear than for those of sadness, whereas no ...

Perception, action, and the body model
NeuropsychologiaIn 1992, Goodale and Milner proposed to study the visual system based on function, thus dissociating vision for perception (ventral stream) and vision for action (dorsal stream). This became known as the Perception and Action model (PAM). Following the PAM in the visual system, a somatosensory PAM was proposed including a body representation for ...

Dimensionality of Body Perception and Personality
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979Fisher's Body Focus Questionnaire (1970) permits an estimation of the relative perceptive importance of eight zones of the body. The scores obtained by 377 French students of both sexes on the French version of this questionnaire show that the various body perceptions are structured by two main perceptual patterns, one of which is probably linked to ...

Body perception, awareness, and illusions
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2014Perceiving a body is a phenomenal experience completely different from experiencing a body as one's own body. Visual presentation of bodies or body parts recruits several occipitotemporal regions in the brain. Are these activations sufficient in order to change the phenomenal status of a body in one's own body? In this paper, I will review consolidated

Body Locus and Form Perception
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977Forms were drawn on the palms, forearms, or biceps of 42 subjects, with vision excluded. Subjects were then required to make a visual match to the drawn forms. It was expected that the accuracy of form recognition would be a direct function of the sensitivity of the receptor surface.
