Elastic Facial Movement Influences Part-Based but Not Holistic Processing

Face processing has been studied for decades. However, most of the empirical investigations have been conducted using static face images as stimuli. Little is known about whether static face processing findings can be generalized to real-world contexts in which faces are constantly moving. The present study investigated the nature of face processing (holistic vs. part-based) in elastic moving faces. Specifically, we focused on whether elastic …
