Visual working memory for faces and facial expressions as a useful “tool” for understanding social and affective cognition
F Gambarota, P Sessa - Frontiers in psychology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Visual working memory (VWM) is one of the most investigated cognitive systems functioning
as a hub between low-and high-level processes. Remarkably, its role in human cognitive …

Blocking facial mimicry affects recognition of facial and body expressions
Facial mimicry is commonly defined as the tendency to imitate—at a sub-threshold level—

Altering facial movements abolishes neural mirroring of facial expressions
People tend to automatically imitate others' facial expressions of emotion. That reaction,
termed “facial mimicry” has been linked to sensorimotor simulation—a process in which the …
