A Comparison of Backward Masking of Faces in Expression and Gender Identification

The effects of different masking conditions on identification of face gender and expression at different target durations (17-119 ms time range) were studied in two experiments. In Experiments 1a and 1b, the effects of face masks were compared against those of noise masks (scrambled face stimuli) and a control, no-mask condition. Significant masking by noise masks was only found at the shortest target duration (17 ms). Effective masking by face [...]
