Neural correlates of cognitive aging during the perception of facial age: The role of relatively distant and local texture information (2015)
Journal Article
Komes, J., Schweinberger, S., & Wiese, H. (2015). Neural correlates of cognitive aging during the perception of facial age: The role of relatively distant and local texture information. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 1420. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01420

Previous event-related potential (ERP) research revealed that older relative to younger adults show reduced inversion effects in the N170 (with more negative amplitudes for inverted than upright faces), suggestive of impairments in face perception. H... Read More about Neural correlates of cognitive aging during the perception of facial age: The role of relatively distant and local texture information.

Aging affects sex categorization of male and female faces in opposite ways (2015)
Journal Article
Kloth, N., Damm, M., Schweinberger, S., & Wiese, H. (2015). Aging affects sex categorization of male and female faces in opposite ways. Acta Psychologica, 158, 78-86. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2015.04.005

Faces are rich in social information; they easily give away a person's sex, approximate age, feelings, or focus of attention. Past research has mostly focused on investigating the distinct facial signals and perceptual mechanisms that allow us to cat...

Fourier power spectrum characteristics of face photographs: attractiveness perception depends on low-level image properties (2015)
Journal Article
Menzel, C., Hayn-Leichsenring, G., Langner, O., Wiese, H., & Redies, C. (2015). Fourier power spectrum characteristics of face photographs: attractiveness perception depends on low-level image properties. PLoS ONE, 10(4), Article e0122801. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0122801

We investigated whether low-level processed image properties that are shared by natural scenes and artworks – but not veridical face photographs – affect the perception of facial attractiveness and age. Specifically, we considered the slope of the ra... Read More about Fourier power spectrum characteristics of face photographs: attractiveness perception depends on low-level image properties.

Getting connected: Both associative and semantic links structure semantic memory for newly learned persons (2015)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., & Schweinberger, S. (2015). Getting connected: Both associative and semantic links structure semantic memory for newly learned persons. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 68(11), 2131-2148. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2015.1008526

The present study examined whether semantic memory for newly learned people is structured by visual co-occurrence, shared semantics, or both. Participants were trained with pairs of simultaneously presented (i.e., co-occurring) preexperimentally unfa...
