Capturing variability in children’s faces: an artificial, yet realistic, face stimulus set Open
Children’s faces are underrepresented in face databases, and existing databases that do focus on children tend to have limitations in terms of the number of faces available and the diversity of ages and ethnicities represented. To improve …

Face evaluation: Findings, methods, and challenges Open
Complex evaluative judgments from facial appearance are made efficiently and are consequential. We review some of the most important findings and methods over the last two decades of research on face evaluation. Such evaluative judgments e…

Individualized Models of Social Judgments and Context-Dependent Representations Open
How individuals view the world is critical to understanding human behavior. Yet, almost all research within perception and judgment has drawn inferences from group-level behavior, with little work focused on understanding how the individua…

Spontaneous Content of Impressions of Naturalistic Face Photographs Open
Social impressions from faces have been studied in psychology for over 100 years. These impressions are rapid, efficient, and consequential. Yet, disagreements about the content of face impressions remain. Across two studies (N = 4,526), w…

A data-driven, hyper-realistic method for visualizing individual mental representations of faces Open
Research in person and face perception has broadly focused on group-level consensus that individuals hold when making judgments of others (e.g., “X type of face looks trustworthy”). However, a growing body of research demonstrates that ind…

Deep models of superficial face judgments Open
Significance We quickly and irresistibly form impressions of what other people are like based solely on how their faces look. These impressions have real-life consequences ranging from hiring decisions to sentencing decisions. We model and…

Reconstructing physical representations of block towers in visual working memory Open
Recent studies have explored the perception of physical properties (such as mass and stability) in psychology, neuroscience, and AI, and perhaps the most popular stimulus from such studies is the block tower -- since such displays (of stac…

Learning too much from too little: False face stereotypes emerge from a few exemplars and persist via insufficient sampling Open
Social stereotypes are prevalent and consequential, yet sometimes inaccurate. How do people learn these inaccurate beliefs in the first place and why do these beliefs persist in the face of counter evidence? Building on past research on co…

Capturing and modifying the perceived traits of all possible faces Open
The diversity in appearance of human faces and their naturalistic viewing conditions give rise to an expansive stimulus space over which humans perceive numerous psychological traits (e.g., perceived trustworthiness). Current scientific mo…

Paranoia and belief updating during a crisis Open
The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has made the world seem unpredictable. During such crises we can experience concerns that others might be against us, culminating perhaps in paranoid conspiracy theories. Here, we investigate parano…

Will it fall?: Exploring the properties that mediate perceived physical instability Open
We often think of perception in terms of relatively low-level properties (such as color and shape), but we can also perceive seemingly higher-level properties, such as physical stability -- as when we can see at a glance whether a tower of…

A face you can trust: Iterated learning reveals how stereotypes of facial trustworthiness may propagate in the absence of evidence Open
When we look at someone’s face, we rapidly and automatically form robust impressions of how trustworthy they appear. Such impressions are vitally important, as our everyday decisions of whom to trust can have profound impacts on collective…

Paranoia as a deficit in non-social belief updating Open
Paranoia is the belief that harm is intended by others. It may arise from selective pressures to infer and avoid social threats, particularly in ambiguous or changing circumstances. We propose that uncertainty may be sufficient to elicit l…

The Speed of Demography in Face Perception Open
When we look at a face, we cannot help but ‘read’ it: beyond simply processing its identity, we also form robust impressions of both transient emotional states (e.g. surprise) and stable personality traits (e.g. trustworthiness). But perha…

Ten angry men: Serial reproduction of faces reveals that angry faces are represented as more masculine Open
Men are angry. That, at least, is a common stereotype relating gender and emotion. But how is this stereotype realized in the mind? It could reflect a judgmental bias, based on conceptual associations in high-level cognition. But another p…

Angrier = Blacker?: The influence of emotional expression on the representation of race in faces, measured with serial reproduction Open
In principle, race and emotional expression are orthogonal dimensions of face perception. But psychologically, they are intertwined — as when racially ambiguous faces are judged to be angrier when categorized as Black than when categorized…

Perceptual averaging of scientific data: Implications of ensemble representations for the perception of patterns in graphs Open
One of the most prominent trends in recent visual cognition research has been the study of ensemble representations, as in the phenomenon of perceptual averaging: people are impressively accurate and efficient at extracting average propert…
