Abstract
This paper takes into consideration the universality of smiling face cognition and adapts holistic recognition strategy to study smiling face recognition within intercrossing culture. Research results showed that when the faces are upright, compared with quiet face, the response time of smiling face is quicker and the recognition time of smiling is improved. Moreover, holistic recognition strategy had its advantage under the upright condition; however it was uneasy to exert its function under the upside-down condition. Smiling face cognition was greatly influenced by the upside-down effect and smiling face recognition relied more on the holistic recognition strategy. What is more, holistic recognition strategy could overcome difficulties of recognizing various particular facial expressions of people from different cultures, and the smiling face could be commonly shared between the different cultures.
Highlights
For the recognition of facial expressions, researchers have raised many recognition methods
Please refer to picture 7 and picture 8 for the experiment results. It could be seen from the experimental results that in the recognition response time, the Japanese examinees group and Chinese examinees group got the same conclusion; in the dƍ value of the recognition correctness, he Japanese examinees group and Chinese examinees group got the same conclusion
When the stimulating pictures are upside-down, the recognition response time of quiet face becomes shorter and it came the result of the advantage of quiet face
Summary
For the recognition of facial expressions, researchers have raised many recognition methods. The recognition methods of human beings’ facial expressions could be divided into two types, namely, the one based on partial features and the one based on holistic features. The recognition based on the holistic features of faces applies the holistic face picture to extract the features that reflect face’s holistic features so as to realize facial expression recognition (Maja, 2000). The upside-down effect of Yin (1969) shows that when the examination series and recognition items are all upright pictures, the least the errors on facial stimulation recognition occur. When the examination series are upright pictures and the recognition items are upside-down pictures, the most the errors on facial stimulation recognition occur. Combined with the right hemisphere of brain advantages phenomenon (Yin, 1970), Yin alleged that facial recognition system has specialty
