Abstract
A pilot study was performedto determine the visual patterns used by individuals to recognize emotions. In a sample of psychology students N = 39, (age M = 19.79, SD = 2.89; 84.21% women), a computer-based test was performed while carrying the pupilometer Mobileye of ASL. The results showed that most of the time the subjects engaged in deciding what emotion is being recognized, however the time needed for effective detection in areas of interest (AOI) of the face are minimal. Also the differences obtained depending on the emotion to detect and other findings are discussed.
