Emotion Recognition
Recognition of written expressions vs. facial expression of happiness
Recommendations for further study
The mechanisms by which words are visually recognized have not themselves been sufficiently researched. Research into the physical response of the brain to visual stimulus of a written word is unable to show conclusively exactly what occurs simply for the mind to extract meaning from the word (Ven der Haagen et al. 2009). This says nothing of words with emotional content, or the memory processes that might be activated and/or affected by visual word recognition. This would provide a prime area for further study to determine the relationship between emotional recognition and empathy, sa opposed to pure conscious intelligence.
Similarly, the psychological study of visual word recognition has had too narrow a focus to produce a reliably accurate explanation of the phenomenon (Yap and Balota 2009). Further study is needed into the basic mechanisms of word recognition before it can be fully integrated with emotional recognition explanations.
Comparison of results
Time taken by participants to recognize words compared with a great deal of correlation to other word recognition studies (e.g. Ota et al. 2009; Wang and Ching 2009). No other similar comparative studies exist on the difference between facial and word recognition of emotion, making comparison difficult. Yet the findings of the present study correlate with the increased accuracy given clear intent as found by Wang and Ching (2009). The fact that the speeds of both word recognition and facial expression recognition matched those of earlier studies is also a confirmation of the accuracy and reliability of the present studies design and findings.

2006). The neurological degeneration caused by this disease has also been found to reduce cognitive abilities pretty much across the board, and the inclusion of emotional recognition in its list of reduced functions suggests a stronger neurological basis for the phenomenon (Winblad et al. 2006). This also suggests a definite relationship between the neurological functions recognized in conscious cognition and the processing of emotional inputs (Winblad et al. 2006). Much
Emotions or feelings assume a fundamental part in our day-to-day social interactions (Scherer, 2003) and work as essential administrative and utilitarian capacities inside the body and mind, and emotions also encourage logical thinking and discernment. After thorough evaluation and assessment of hypotheses and methodology utilized in the field of emotional study, I considered different advantages and shortcomings in every one of them and decided upon an unbiased/neutral stance in my
FACIAL EXPRESSION & EMOTION Psychology From the perspective of many psychologists, there is no set formal definition for emotion. We know that emotion is universal insofar as all humans experience and express emotion. There have been many studies, specifically over the past several decades that demonstrate that some emotions are expressed universally across time and culture. Just because there is not a universal definition for emotion, does not mean that there are
The other major factors were the personal space between each other and the touching behaviors of these couples. To estimate the personal space between the partners, distance in their sitting positions was used while the holding on of hands and hugging was the determining factor of a couple's touching behavior. To test the eye contact of these couples, the amount of time they spent looking at each other while
Recognition Cognitive Process of Facial Recognition We see so many faces each day. How does the mind keep track of them all? Something that seems so simple is actually quite complex. There are a number of cognitive processes that help the mind recognize facial features in general but also familiar faces that represent known associates. The brain categorizes and codes facial features and relationships between those features that allow for a
Thus, the idea of a strong, female leader is created through conceptual blending, and the ultimately oxymoronic pairing of unlike words. Something new is created, through the use of cultural, political, religious, and historical references, and of the pairing of these two specific nouns together. 3. Explain what Fauconnier and Turner mean when they assert on page 15, in effect, that, "Metaphor is not just something derived from 'core meaning'?"
