当附近的侧翼阻碍识别外围刺激时，就会出现拥挤。在这里，我们研究了包含不可访问的情绪信息的拥挤特征是否仍然会影响偏好判断。我们依赖与凝视相关的拥挤，这是一种新的方法，允许通过眼球跟踪控制持续的知觉无意识，我们发现拥挤的面部表情会偏向中性象形文字的评估判断。此外，这种情感偏见不仅对静态的人脸图像有效，而且对显示动态面部表情的视频也有效。除了展示了探索无意识认知的另一种方法外，这项研究还揭示了拥挤的信息可能对决策产生重要影响，而不是完全被抑制。
Crowding occurs when nearby flankers impede the identification of a peripheral stimulus. Here, we studied whether crowded features containing inaccessible emotional information can nevertheless affect preference judgments. We relied on gaze-contingent crowding, a novel method allowing for constant perceptual unawareness through eye-tracking control, and we found that crowded facial expressions can bias evaluative judgments of neutral pictographs. Furthermore, this emotional bias was effective not only for static images of faces, but also for videos displaying dynamic facial expressions. In addition to showing an alternative approach for probing nonconscious cognition, this study reveals that crowded information, instead of being fully suppressed, can have important influences on decisions.
