感知独特性影响面部表情识别

Humans are assumed to prioritize facial expressions because of the evolutionary significance of their affective content. Here, we show that this assumption does not survive rigorous control of perceptual structure. Across three studies integrating preregistered visual search experiments, geometric modeling of facial expressions, and eye-tracking data, we tested whether detection advantages for happy and angry faces reflect low-level visual salience rather than emotion. To this end, we combined frequentist interval testing with a predefined smallest effect size of interest (SESOI) and Bayesian
