Involuntary facial expression processing: extracting information from two simultaneously presented faces.

Facial expressions play an important role in successful social interactions, with previous research suggesting that facial expressions may be processed involuntarily. In the current study, we investigate whether involuntary processing of facial expressions would also occur when facial expression dis...

description Facial expressions play an important role in successful social interactions, with previous research suggesting that facial expressions may be processed involuntarily.

Targets and distractors from another stimulus class (lions) were also used.
