I react to bodies but not faces, a replication and extension of Aviezer et al. (2012), Pillaud et al. (2026). Outcome recorded: mixed. A series of five experiments replicated the results obtained by Aviezer et al. (2012; Experiment 1) and extended them to other tasks...The results partially confirm this objective. We observed the effect on the valence dimension reported by Aviezer et al.: Images representing only bodies or bodies w View paper
Evaluating the replicability of social science experiments in Nature and Science between 2010 and 2015, Camerer et al. (2018). Outcome recorded: successful. Based on a paired-samplet-test,the difference between the average valence rat-ings for winning and losing bodies is statisti-cally significant withp= 0.0001338(t(13) =5.3420). The original result is thus replicated View paper
