  1. Older adults get masked emotion priming for happy but not angry faces: evidence for a positivity effect in early perceptual processing of emotional signals.Simone Simonetti, Chris Davis & Jeesun Kim - 2022 - Cognition and Emotion 36 (8):1576-1593.
    In higher-level cognitive tasks, older compared to younger adults show a bias towards positive emotion information and away from negative information (a positivity effect). It is unclear whether this effect occurs in early perceptual processing. This issue is important for determining if the positivity effect is due to automatic rather than controlled processing. We tested this with older and younger adults on a positive/negative face emotion valence classification task using masked priming. Positive (happy) and negative (angry) face targets were preceded (...)

  • Morphological Metaphor Mapping of Moral Concepts in Chinese Culture.Yingjie Liu, Kang Li, Lina Li, Jing Zhang, Yuerui Lin, Baxter DiFabrizio & He Wang - 2020 - Frontiers in Psychology 11.
    According to conceptual metaphor theory, individuals are thought to understand or express abstract concepts by using referents in the physical world—right and left for moral and immoral, for example. In this research, we used a modified Stroop paradigm to explore how abstract moral concepts are metaphorically translated onto physical referents in Chinese culture using the Chinese language. We presented Chinese characters related to moral and immoral abstract concepts in either non-distorted or distorted positions or rotated to the right or to (...)

  • Infants aren't biased toward fearful faces.Andrew M. Herbert, Kirsten Condry & Tina M. Sutton - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e65.
    Grossmann's argument for the “fearful ape hypothesis” rests on an incomplete review of infant responses to emotional faces. An alternate interpretation of the literature argues the opposite, that an early preference for happy faces predicts cooperative learning. Questions remain as to whether infants can interpret affect from faces, limiting the conclusion that any “fear bias” means the infant is fearful.

  • Are the concepts of emotion special? A comparison between basic-emotion, secondary-emotion, abstract, and concrete words.Mauricio González-Arias & Daniela Aracena - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13:915165.
    The study of emotional concepts stands at a very interesting intersection between the theoretical debate about the nature of emotions and the debate about the nature of processing concrete concepts and abstract concepts. On the one hand, it is debated whether it is possible to differentiate basic emotions from secondary emotions and, on the other hand, whether emotional concepts differ from abstract concepts. In this regard, the prototypical perceptual aspects are considered an important factor both for the differentiation between concrete (...)
