| Noa Bridson Recognizing Facial Expressions
Défi: | Santé | Catégorie: | Junior | Région: | Simcoe County | Ville: | Stayner, ON | École: | Mountain View P.S. | Sommaire: | Two experiments were conducted to find factors that effect facial expression recognition(FER). The first, examined, age, gender and social traits influence on FER. Seven universal FE were presented on photographs. Results were inconclusive, possibly due to exposure time. The second experiment, using the SETT software (1/15 sec. exposure), examined the effect training had on FER. Results suggest that computer training enhances FER acquisition. |
