TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - The role of embodied change in perceiving and processing facial expressions of others JO - Behavioral and brain sciences A1 - BriƱol, Pablo A1 - Demarree, Kenneth G. A1 - Smith, K. Rachelle SP - 437 EP - 438 VL - 33 IS - 6 N2 - The embodied simulation of smiles involves motor activity that often changes the perceivers' own emotional experience (e.g., smiling can make us feel happy). Although Niedenthal et al. mention this possibility, the psychological processes by which embodiment changes emotions and their consequences for processing other emotions are not discussed in the target article's review. We argue that understanding the processes initiated by embodiment is important for a complete understanding of the effects of embodiment on emotion perception.
