Emotion Processing in Late Adulthood: The Effect of Emotional Valence and Face Age on Behavior and Scanning Patterns Open
Age-related differences in emotion recognition are well-documented in older adults aged 65 and above, with stimulus valence and the age of the model being key influencing factors. This study examined these variables across three experiment…

Emotion recognition and social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum condition and intellectual disability Open
Objective Most previous studies have examined emotion recognition in autism spectrum condition (ASC) without intellectual disability (ID). However, ASC and ID co-occur to a high degree. The main aims of the study were to examine emotion re…

Are older adults adapting to new forms of communication? A study on emoji adoption across the adult lifespan Open
Recent evidence suggests that as a form of non-verbal communication, emojis play critical communicative functions. As such, emojis can help users of all ages meet their social and emotional needs when interacting online. The present study …

The Irrelevant Sound Effect on Serial Recall Is Independent of Age and Inhibitory Control Open
The Irrelevant Sound Effect (ISE) refers to the disruptive effects of irrelevant and to-be-ignored sounds on cognitive performance. It is an empirical phenomenon of great practical relevance in environments in which cognitive performance h…

Acceptance of immersive head-mounted display virtual reality in stroke patients Open
Background: As virtual reality (VR) has become more accessible, it has increasingly come into focus for clinical application. Therapy with VR shows potential as an engaging, effective, and economic way to improve cognitive abilities follow…

The composite face effect is robust against perceptual misfit Open
The composite face effect—the failure of selective attention toward a target face half—is frequently used to study mechanisms of feature integration in faces. Here we studied how this effect depends on the perceptual fit between attended a…

Development, Implementation and First Evaluation of an Online Portal to Promote the Mental Health of University Students (me@JGU) Open
Background: University students encounter various stressors such as exam preparation, workload and economic concerns. Having to deal with a multitude of stressors can lead to mental health problems and have a negative impact on academic ou…

Theory of mind development from adolescence to adulthood: Testing the two‐component model Open
The ability to infer mental and affective states of others is crucial for social functioning. This ability, denoted as Theory of Mind (ToM), develops rapidly during childhood, yet results on its development across adolescence and into youn…

Orientation-invariance of individual differences in three face processing tasks Open
Numerous studies have reported impairments in perception and recognition, and, particularly, in part-integration of faces following picture-plane inversion. Whether these findings support the notion that inversion changes face processing q…

The Two-Systems Account of Theory of Mind: Testing the Links to Social- Perceptual and Cognitive Abilities Open
According to the two-systems account of theory of mind (ToM), understanding mental states of others involves both fast social-perceptual processes, as well as slower, reflexive cognitive operations (Frith and Frith, 2008; Apperly and Butte…

On Response Bias in the Face Congruency Effect for Internal and External Features Open
Some years ago Cheung et al. (2008) proposed the complete design (CD) for measuring the failure of selective attention in composite objects. Since the CD is a fully balanced design, analysis of response bias may reveal potential effects of…

Editorial: Face Perception across the Life-Span Open
Nineteen successfully published submissions contributed to this aim. Their findings suggest that faces are a special object category in many respects. In the Editorial, we aim at an integrated view of these contributions. Several papers li…

The Composite Effect Is Face-Specific in Young but Not Older Adults Open
In studying holistic face processing across the life-span there are only few attempts to separate face-specific from general aging effects. Here we used the complete design of the composite paradigm (Cheung et al., 2008) with faces and nov…
