Does age-dynamic movement accelerate facial age impression? Perception of age from facial movement: Studies of Japanese women.

We form impressions of others by observing their constant and dynamically-shifting facial expressions during conversation and other daily life activities. However, conventional aging research has mainly considered the changing characteristics of the skin, such as wrinkles and age-spots, within very...
