Lee, Yongseong; Jeong, Su Keun – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks have been widely used in daily life. Previous studies have suggested that faces wearing typical masks that occlude the lower half of the face are perceived as more attractive than face without masks. However, relatively little work has been done on how transparent masks that reveal the lower half of the…

Capraro, Valerio; Barcelo, Hélène – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Finding messaging to promote the use of face masks is fundamental during a pandemic. Study 1 (N = 399) shows that telling people to "rely on their reasoning" increases intentions to wear a face mask, compared with telling them to "rely on their emotions." In Study 2 (N = 591) we add a baseline. However, the results show only a…

Swain, Riley H.; O'Hare, Aminda J.; Brandley, Kamila; Gardner, A. Tye – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Facial expressions provide key information for successful social interactions. Recent research finds that accurate perception of emotion expressions decreases when faces are presented with face masks. What is unknown is how individual differences in social intelligence may influence perception of masked emotion expressions. In this study,…

Ganel, Tzvi; Goodale, Melvyn A. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
The widespread use of face masks in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic has promoted research on their effect on the perception and recognition of faces. There is growing evidence that masks hinder the recognition of identity and expression, as well as the interpretation of speech from facial cues. It is less clear whether and in what manner masks…

Kim, Yunjung; Thompson, Austin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of wearing a face mask on speech acoustics and intelligibility, using an acoustic-phonetic analysis of speech. In addition, the effects of speakers' behavioral modification while wearing a mask were examined. Method: Fourteen female adults were asked to read a set of words and sentences under three…

Carragher, Daniel J.; Hancock, Peter J. B. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2020
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments around the world now recommend, or require, that their citizens cover the lower half of their face in public. Consequently, many people now wear surgical face masks in public. We investigated whether surgical face masks affected the performance of human observers, and a state-of-the-art face…

Hoyoung Yi; Moumita Choudhury; Candace Hicks – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the impacts of a surgical mask and a transparent mask on audio-only and audiovisual speech intelligibility in noise (i.e., 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio) in individuals with mild-to-profound hearing loss. The study also examined if individuals with hearing loss can benefit from using a transparent…

Bennetts, Rachel J.; Johnson Humphrey, Poppy; Zielinska, Paulina; Bate, Sarah – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Some research indicates that face masks impair identification and other judgements such as trustworthiness. However, it is unclear whether those effects have abated over time as individuals adjust to widespread use of masks, or whether performance is related to individual differences in face recognition ability. This study examined the effect of…

Rinck, Mike; Primbs, Maximilian A.; Verpaalen, Iris A. M.; Bijlstra, Gijsbert – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Face masks are now worn frequently to reduce the spreading of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Their health benefits are undisputable, but covering the lower half of one's face also makes it harder for others to recognize facial expressions of emotions. Three experiments were conducted to determine how strongly the recognition of different facial expressions…

McCrackin, Sarah D.; Provencher, Sabrina; Mendell, Ethan; Ristic, Jelena – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
While face masks provide necessary protection against disease spread, they occlude the lower face parts (chin, mouth, nose) and consequently impair the ability to accurately perceive facial emotions. Here we examined how wearing face masks impacted making inferences about emotional states of others (i.e., affective theory of mind; Experiment 1)…

Sivaraman, Maithri; Virues-Ortega, Javier; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus causing COVID-19 and is spread through close person-to-person contact. The use of face masks has been described as an important strategy to slow its transmission. We evaluated the effects of coaching caregivers via telehealth technologies to teach face mask wearing to children with autism spectrum disorder. Six participants…

Sarah Surrain; Michael P. Mesa; Mike A. Assel; Tricia A. Zucker – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted changes to child assessment procedures in schools such as the use of face masks by assessors. Research with adults suggests that face masks diminish performance on speech processing and comprehension tasks, yet little is known about how assessor masking affects child performance. Therefore, we…

Pazhoohi, Farid; Kingstone, Alan – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Facial attractiveness in humans signals an individual's genetic condition, underlying physiology and health status, serving as a cue to one's mate value. The practice of wearing face masks for prevention of transmission of airborne infections may disrupt one's ability to evaluate facial attractiveness, and with it, cues to an individual's health…

Carragher, Daniel J.; Towler, Alice; Mileva, Viktoria R.; White, David; Hancock, Peter J. B. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
To slow the spread of COVID-19, many people now wear face masks in public. Face masks impair our ability to identify faces, which can cause problems for professional staff who identify offenders or members of the public. Here, we investigate whether performance on a masked face matching task can be improved by training participants to compare…

Kollenda, Diana; de Haas, Benjamin – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the wearing of face masks became mandatory in public areas or at workplaces in many countries. While offering protection, the coverage of large parts of our face (nose, mouth and chin) may have consequences for face recognition. This seems especially important in the context of contact tracing which can require memory…
