Rapid detection of human facial attractiveness in groups (2017)
Thesis
Carvey, R. J. Rapid detection of human facial attractiveness in groups. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221070

In a world full of great visual repetition, humans have evolved to simplify visual processing, taking redundant information and compressing it into a simpler form (Alvarez, 2011). This compressed form is an ensemble representation, an abstract singul... Read More about Rapid detection of human facial attractiveness in groups.

Social perception in the real world : employing visual adaptation paradigms in the investigation of mechanisms underlying emotion and trustworthiness perception (2014)

Social context can substantially influence our perception and understanding of emotion and action of observed individuals. However, less is known about how temporal context can affect our judgement of behaviour of other people. The aim of this thesis...
