FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

The Impact of Facial Expressions on Memory and Perception

Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of “The Impact of Facial Expressions on Memory and Perception” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on “The Impact of Facial Expressions” and its relation with “Memory and Perception”. The research also analyzes many aspects of “The Impact of Facial Expressions” and tries to gauge its effect on “Memory and Perception”. Finally the research describes various factors which are responsible for “The Impact of Facial Expressions on Memory and Perception” and tries to describe the overall effect of “The Impact of Facial Expressions on Memory and Perception” on “Memory and Perception”.

The Impact of Facial Expressions on Memory and Perception

Introduction

The many meanings of the word emotion means that their study is laborious. Many emotions seem unconscious actions; hence they were rejected as field of study. Emotions are expressed in a wide range of observable behaviors, expression of feelings and bodily changes. Emotion, which originally must have shield up to biological survival, is now also what keeps a man alive and competitive in relation to others. However, the source of stimuli that provoke emotional responses of men today are more in the man himself in the primary stimuli that maintained their biological survival. Man is fundamentally emotional. The current neuroscience teach us that human beings do not see, feel or hear it through the emotional filter of your brain.

As the etymology, of the word emotion means movement, motor expression made by the conduct, whether verbal or just the body. In its most primitive and profound meaning, by emotions we note the mechanisms that trigger any living being to maintain their survival.

Reactions to the danger or the pleasurable to occur in any animal species and are unconscious, even in man, occur before we perceive them. He also experiences a conscious sensation, whether of fear, pleasure or many variables. Demasi, 1999. Emotions are a complex collection of chemical and neural responses in a pattern, all emotions have some sort of regulatory function, resulting in one way or another to the creation of circumstances advantageous to the organism that experiences them. (Jones, 2000)

Learning and culture change the expression of emotions and gives them new meanings, but the emotions as biological processes depend on innate brain mechanisms, deposited by a long evolutionary history. The mechanisms that produce the emotions occupy a set of subcortical regions that range from the brainstem to other higher brain areas. All the mechanisms of emotion can operate without conscious deliberation, the amount of individual variation and the fact that culture plays a role in modulating some inductors do not deny the fundamental automation and regulatory purpose of ...
