Body image distortion and exposure to extreme body types: contingent adaptation and cross adaptation for self and other
Body size misperception is common amongst the general public and is a core component of
eating disorders and related conditions. While perennial media exposure to the “thin ideal” …

Independent Aftereffects of Fat and Muscle: Implications for neural encoding, body space representation, and body image disturbance
Although research addressing body size misperception has focused on socio-cognitive
processes, such as internalization of the “ideal” images of bodies in the media, the …

Gender and the body size aftereffect: implications for neural processing
Prolonged exposure to wide (thin) bodies causes a perceptual aftereffect such that
subsequently viewed bodies appear thinner (wider) than they actually are. This …

Body size adaptation alters perception of test stimuli, not internal body image
Recent studies have reported that adaptation to extreme body types produces aftereffects on
judgments of body normality and attractiveness, and also judgments of the size and shape of …

Visual attention mediates the relationship between body satisfaction and susceptibility to the body size adaptation effect
Body size misperception–the belief that one is larger or smaller than reality–affects a large
and growing segment of the population. Recently, studies have shown that exposure to …

Looking at the figures: visual adaptation as a mechanism for body-size and-shape misperception
Many individuals experience body-size and-shape misperception (BSSM). Body-size
overestimation is associated with body dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, and the …

Are attitudinal and perceptual body image the same or different? Evidence from high-level adaptation
We used a high-level adaptation paradigm to distinguish between two hypotheses:(1)
perceptual and attitudinal body image measurements reflect conceptually different …

Body-shape adaptation cannot be explained by adaptation to narrow and wide rectangles
D Hummel, R Grabhorn, HM Mohr - Perception, 2012 - journals.sagepub.com
Visual adaptation to certain body shapes alters visual perception of subsequently presented
pictures of bodies. We investigated whether these effects can be explained by adaptation to …
