The Body-Inversion Effect

摘要: Researchers argue that faces are recognized via the configuration of their parts. An important behavioral finding supporting this claim is face-inversion effect, in which inversion impairs recognition more than nonface objects. Until recently, were only class objects producing effect for untrained individuals. This study investigated whether extends to human body positions, a whose exemplars structurally similar each other. Three experiments compared upright and inverted faces, houses, positions using forced-choice, same/different paradigm. For both reaction time error data, possible postures was affected by houses. Further, showed effects inversion. The diminished impossible violated biome...
