Talk:Face superiority effect

Untitled

Great job on this article! I think you might include some information on verbal overshadowing, perhaps in the criminology section. Verbal overshadowing is related to the face superiority effect and has consequences with identifying people in line ups. Because we can not describe faces as we process them (we verbally describe features individually, it is much more challenging to describe with words the face as a whole or how the features relate to one another), the process of describing a face affects and hinders or later recognition of the face. This might be a nice addition. Good work! Annasjenkins (talk) 14:22, 26 April 2016 (UTC)annasjenkins

I also think that you did a great start with this Wiki page! One potential place to add figures could be at the end of this sentence. "This effect is limited to the perception of upright faces and does not occur when face is in an unusual angle" You could potentially have another sentence about the study (and its results) with an unusual face from the study. Visuals may make the reader understand the point easily.Adaaka (talk) 15:29, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

This is a great start on such an interesting phenomenon! I agree with Ada that a figure could be added to enhance the readers' understanding of the effect. For example, a helpful addition to the section on limitation to upright faces could be the Thatcher Effect accompanied by the iconic image of Margaret Thatcher. This illusion disappears when the face is inverted in other primate species. Our acuteness to human faces suggests important evolutionary implications of the face superiority effect and how we can "read" into a plethora of social information with just a quick glance at the face.

Is there a figure that isn't loading? Elizareader (talk) 04:03, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

My main concern with this page is that the term "face superiority effect" refers to a specific laboratory paradigm. The content, however, is more generally about face perception -- for which there are already entries on wikipedia. Elizareader (talk) 04:03, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Good job on the article! I enjoyed the read. Make sure that when you are citing someone you are repeating them, you can use the same citation throughout the text. Other than that great job! AbbySam8 (talk) 19:27, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
