Search asymmetries with real faces: testing the anger-superiority effectGernot Horstmann
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
Emotion 6:193-207. 2006..The results are in line with a sensory-bias hypothesis that facial expressions evolved to exploit extant capabilities of the visual system...
Of toothy grins and angry snarls--open mouth displays contribute to efficiency gains in search for emotional facesGernot Horstmann
Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
J Vis 12:7. 2012..Further analyses clarify that the teeth visibility primarily affects the speed with which neutral crowds are scanned, shedding new light on the mechanism that evokes differences in search efficiency for different emotional expressions...- Compatibility between tones, head movements, and facial expressionsGernot Horstmann
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, P O Box 100 131, D 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Emotion 11:975-80. 2011..The results add to the growing evidence favoring an embodiment account that emphasizes multimodal representations as the basis of cognition, emotion, and action... - Evidence for goal-independent attentional capture from validity effects with unexpected novel color cues--a response to Burnham (2007)Gernot Horstmann
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, PO Box 100 131, Bielefeld, 33 501, Germany
Psychon Bull Rev 18:512-7. 2011..Here, we tested surprise capture in a new paradigm that avoids previous methodological complications. The results refute the prior criticisms and reinstate surprise capture as prime evidence for goal-independent capture... - Tone-affect compatibility with affective stimuli and affective responsesGernot Horstmann
Psychology Department, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 63:2239-50. 2010..Results suggest that pitch height is associated with emotion. An interpretation in terms of an embodied cognition approach that emphasizes an interweavement of perception and action is discussed... - Attentional effects of negative faces: top-down contingent or involuntary?Gernot Horstmann
Psychology Department, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
Percept Psychophys 70:1416-34. 2008.... - More efficient rejection of happy than of angry face distractors in visual searchGernot Horstmann
Psychology Department, Bielefeld University, P O Box 100 131, D 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Psychon Bull Rev 13:1067-73. 2006..The pattern of results is consistent with the assumption that efficient rejection of positive (more homogenous) distractors is an important determinant of performance in search among (face) distractors... - Evidence for attentional capture by a surprising color singleton in visual searchGernot Horstmann
University of Bielefeld, Germany
Psychol Sci 13:499-505. 2002..The results of the three experiments support the view that surprising color singletons capture attention independently of a corresponding attentional set... - Attentional capture by an unannounced color singleton depends on expectation discrepancyGernot Horstmann
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, PO Box 100 131, Bielefeld D 33 501, Germany
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 31:1039-60. 2005..Thus, the results imply that theories of attention have to consider expectation discrepancy as a determinant of attention shifts... - Facial expressions of emotion: does the prototype represent central tendency, frequency of instantiation, or an ideal?Gernot Horstmann
Abteilung fur Psychologie, University of Bielefeld, Germany
Emotion 2:297-305. 2002 - What do facial expressions convey: feeling states, behavioral intentions, or action requests?Gernot Horstmann
Department of Psychology, University of Bielefeld, Germany
Emotion 3:150-66. 2003..The results support the view that facial expressions communicate emotions, with emotions being multicomponential phenomena that comprise feelings, intentions, and wishes... - The time course of intended and unintended allocation of attentionGernot Horstmann
Fakultät für Psychologie und Sportwissenschaft, Universitat Bielefeld, Postfach 100 131, 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Psychol Res 70:13-25. 2006..The results are interpreted as supporting the surprise-capture hypothesis. It is furthermore argued that a division of labor between contingent capture and surprise in the control of attention supports adaptive behavior... - The psychological refractory period of stoppingGernot Horstmann
U Bielefeld, Abteilung fur Psychologie, Fakultat fur Psychologie and Sportwissenschaft, Bielefeld, Germany
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 29:965-81. 2003..c) 2003 APA, all rights reserved).. - Flanker effects with faces may depend on perceptual as well as emotional differencesGernot Horstmann
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
Emotion 6:28-39. 2006..The authors conclude that the flanker-effect asymmetry with affective faces cannot be unambiguously attributed to emotional differences and may well be due to purely perceptual differences between the stimuli... - Latency facilitation in temporal-order judgments: time course of facilitation as a function of judgment typeIngrid Scharlau
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, P O Box 10 01 31, D 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Acta Psychol (Amst) 122:129-59. 2006..A method which provides a more exhaustive measure is suggested and tested... - Visual search for facial expressions of emotions: a comparison of dynamic and static facesGernot Horstmann
Psychology Department, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
Emotion 9:29-38. 2009..However, these results do not generally support the hypothesis that emotion-specific movement patterns are always preattentively discriminated... - Preemptive control of attentional capture by colour: evidence from trial-by-trial analyses and orderings of onsets of capture effects in reaction time distributionsUlrich Ansorge
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 60:952-75. 2007..Both predictions were shown to hold true under different conditions in three experiments... - Action-effect associations revealed by eye movementsArvid Herwig
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, P O Box 100131, D 33501, Bielefeld, Germany
Psychon Bull Rev 18:531-7. 2011..Saccade-effect associations are easily acquired and are used to guide the eyes if participants freely select where to look next (Experiment 1), but not if saccades are triggered by external stimuli (Experiment 2)... - Top-down contingent capture by color: evidence from RT distribution analyses in a manual choice reaction taskUlrich Ansorge
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, P O Box 100131, D 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Acta Psychol (Amst) 120:243-66. 2005..Both predictions are shown to hold true in two experiments. Results are discussed in light of contrasting evidence for saccadic instead of manual responses...
