Abstract

Three experiments were conducted to identify visual features for age perception. Effects of display time of eye, nose, and mouth, spacial frequency filtering, face outline and inversion on age perception were examined in experiments 1, 2, & 3. Results showed that age estimation was accurate either when eyes were presented for a longer duration or when a whole face was presented. However, age estimation was not accurate when eyes were presented only for a short period of time or when nose or mouth was presented. Also, both high and low frequency filtering did affect age estimation regardless of display time. And face inversion was more influential than face outline on age perception. These results suggest that age perception rely heavily on configurational than featural process.
