Demonstrations

Changes of facial features on a variety of trait dimensions in a computer model developed by Oosterhof & Todorov (2008). The running score of each trait is presented in standard deviation units in the lower right corner of the movie. Each video begins at the average or neutral face for the trait dimension, progresses to a face that is very high on the trait, then very low on the trait, and then returns to the neutral face. For each pair, the first movie varies on face shape only, while the second movie varies on face shape and texture.
