FIGURE 1.

Psychophysical task design. The figure illustrates one trial for each of the three experimental tasks. The facial expression (a) and the body posture tasks (b) were used to index the precision of facial expression and body posture representations, respectively. The whole‐person task was used to measure the influence of body posture on facial expression perception. In the facial expression (a) and the body posture tasks (b) isolated faces or bodies were presented and participants were asked to categorize them as angry or disgusted. In the whole‐person task (c), they were asked to base their categorization on the face and ignore the body. On each trial, the stimulus was presented centrally for 500 ms. Following presentation of the stimuli, response options appeared on screen and remained until an observer made a response. The next trial commenced following a 500 ms inter‐trial interval.
