ABSTRACT
The expression of surprise may increase the efficiency in the detection of the facial expression of fear because surprise and fear share similarities in their facial expression that favour the priming effect. We have conducted two studies to investigate this issue using a spatial cueing paradigm, with facial expressions of fear, anger, happiness and neutral as targets, and the expressions of surprise and neutral as prime. The surprise prime was more efficient than the neutral one solely in the detection of the expression of fear. When the prime was a facial expression of surprise, the detection of facial expressions of fear was more efficient than that of anger, happiness and neutra. The results are discussed according to the adaptive function of the facial expressions of surprise in unexpected situations in which a rapid and accurate response to stimuli warning of the presence of a potential threat are key to the survival.

在Posner的空间提示任务中检测情感面孔:惊喜的适应性价值
摘要
惊奇的表达可以提高检测恐惧的面部表情的效率,因为惊奇和恐惧在面部表情中具有相似的相似性,从而有利于启动效果。我们进行了两项研究,使用空间提示范式来研究此问题,以恐惧,愤怒,幸福和中性的面部表情为目标,而惊喜和中性的表情为主要表情。惊喜素数比中性素更有效,仅在检测恐惧表达方面。当素数是惊喜的表情时,检测恐惧的表情比愤怒,幸福和中立的表情更有效。
