Abstract

In this study, we investigated the effect of spatial frequency filtering on facial expression recognition and age perception. Two experiments were performed to compare the relative importance of high spatial frequency information with low spatial frequency information on facial information processing. In the first experiment, the stimuli were made from eight images of facial expressions which were located on the 2-dimensional space of emotion: pleasure-displeasure and arousal-relaxation. In the second experiment, the images used stimuli were the female faces from twenties to sixties. The spatial frequency filtering of facial stimuli were similar to Vuilleumier, Armony, Driver, & Dolan(2003)'s. The results showed that the high spatial frequency information are more decisive than low spatial frequency information in the estimation of the facial expressions on both pleasure and arousal dimensions, and both high and low frequency information are concerned with the estimation of age for the old groups. These results imply that the age perception is related to both pathways of changeable information processing and invariant information processing on the face.
