Facial expression of pain: An evolutionary account (2002, background): “…from the evidence that humans perceive emotional expression categorically, although muscular changes in the face occur along continuous dimensions (Etcoff & Magee 1992; Young et al. 1997), like colour perception, where recognition appears to proceed by fit to cognitive categories not excluding…”
The perception and categorisation of emotional stimuli: A review (2010, background): “…from each other by a given physical amount on such a continuum can be discriminated more accurately when the pairs belong to two different emotion categories than when they belong to the same category (Calder, Young, Perrett, Etcoff, & Rowland, 1996; Etcoff & Magee, 1992; Young et al., 1997).”
Communication of emotions in vocal expression and music performance: different channels, same code? (2003, background): “…evidence of categorical perception of basic emotions in facial and vocal expression (de Gelder, Teunisse, & Benson, 1997; de Gelder & Vroomen, 1996; Etcoff & Magee, 1992; Laukka, in press), more or less intact vocal and facial expressions of emotion in children born deaf and blind…”
Categorical perception in American Sign Language (2003, background): “... discrimination function for CP shown in Figure 3 does not resemble the ‘ideal’ discrimination function sometimes described for speech (i.e., at chance performance within a category and perfect performance across the boundary), the data do resemble the discrimination functions observed for CP in ”
Recognizing emotion from facial expressions: psychological and neurological mechanisms. (2002, background): “…two different emotions has been explored in normal subjects (Calder, Young, Perrett, Etcoff, & Rowland, 1996; de Gelder, Teunisse, & Benson, 1997; Etcoff & Magee, 1992; A. W. Young et al., 1997) and has been investigated in a neural network model trained to classify faces (Cottrell et al., 2001;…”
Common and distinct neural responses during direct and incidental processing of multiple facial emotions (2003, background): “Indeed, at such low thresholds, where false positives are poorly protected against, the voxels which showed interactions by emotion type appeared more responsive to disgust or combinations of disgust and sadness than to fear.”
Race as a visual feature: using visual search and perceptual discrimination tasks to understand face categories and the cross-race recognition deficit. (2000, background): “In these experiments (i.e., Beale & Keil, 1995; Etcoff & Magee, 1992; Levin & Beale, 2000), participants viewed pairs of stimuli at different locations along a continuum between two end points.”
