Talk:Ensemble coding

Untitled
I made a few grammatical edits and tried to improve readability throughout the article. There was a sentence that could use some help but I wanted to read the source first before making any drastic changes.Kkrupp (talk) 22:08, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Inaccurate wording
The social vision and ensemble coding section contains inaccurate wording, which actually stems from the source. "Additional research has uncovered that in as little as 75 milliseconds, participants are able to derive the average sex ratio of an ensemble of faces"

This is not correct, as processing of this dimension almost definitely occurred after this time period, as the processing of face information continues after a brief presentation. In that study the 75ms face presentation was followed by a 125ms blank screen which did not mask ongoing processing. It is thus inaccurate to state that this information was processed within 75ms, only that a brief presentation allowed for such processing to occur. It's the same principle as masked priming in words, semantic or orthographic processing does not occur before 100ms yet you can get behavioural effects from primes presented for 50ms. So, the wording is inaccurate and I recommend altering it to.134.21.35.120 (talk) 09:34, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
