Abstract

In three experiments, the effects of facial expression, change in facial expression, and the experience of diverse facial expressions on the face recognition of a person were investigated. Facial expression affected response criterion in the direction of raising both hit and false alarm rates in recognition tasks. Such an effect was more salient in 'negative' facial expressions. When a face with an emotional expression in the learning phase was shifted to the neutral one in the test phase, recognition rate was higher than the opposite case. Learning with diverse facial expressions resulted in higher recognition rate than learning repeatedly with a single facial expression. Such a trend was more salient when the to-be-learned face was presented dispersedly than successively. In conclusion, the results of the experiments imply that facial expression affects response criterion for face recognition and diverse facial expressions facilitate learning of a face through the requirement of normalization.
