emotion recognition modification - sad>happy
Participants must choose whether each face is happy or sad. Based on these responses, an algorithm then estimates each participant's balance point, the threshold point on the morph sequence at which they are equally likely to label the face as happy or sad. During the intervention, the participant receives feedback on their emotion choices designed to train them to identify two additional morphs as happy, rather than sad. The intervention is completed three times.
emotion recognition modification - sad>happy control
Participants must choose whether each face is happy or sad. Based on these responses, an algorithm then estimates each participant's balance point, the threshold point on the morph sequence at which they are equally likely to label the face as happy or sad. During the placebo intervention, the participant receives feedback on their emotion choices designed to reinforce their initial emotion choices. The placebo intervention is completed three times.
emotion recognition modification - angry>happy
Participants must choose whether each face is happy or angry. Based on these responses, an algorithm then estimates each participant's balance point, the threshold point on the morph sequence at which they are equally likely to label the face as happy or angry.
