10 Questions

What is the face inversion effect and how does it affect our ability to exploit configural information?

The face inversion effect disrupts our ability to exploit configural information.

Why is configural information important for objectification processes?

Configural information is important for objectification processes.

What is the body inversion effect and how is it different from object recognition?

The body inversion effect is typical of face/body recognition, while no inversion effect is typical of object recognition.

What is the N170 amplitude and how is it related to the processing of intact bodies?

The N170 amplitude is a reliable marker indicating that intact bodies are processed configurally.

How do sexualized bodies differ from nonsexualized bodies and faces in terms of evoking N170 responses?

Sexualized bodies evoke larger and delayed N170s compared to nonsexualized bodies and faces.

Are women more or less likely to be processed configurally and objectified compared to men?

Women are less likely to be processed configurally.

What factors contribute to the cognitive objectification of bodies?

Skin-to-clothing ratio and posture suggestiveness cause cognitive objectification of bodies.

Which factor is the key driver of cognitive objectification according to the text?

Posture suggestiveness is the key driver of cognitive objectification.

How are bodies with non-suggestive postures processed and objectified compared to those with suggestive postures?

Bodies with non-suggestive postures are processed configurally and not objectified, while those with suggestive postures are processed less configurally and more cognitively objectified.

What were the results of Experiment 1 in relation to skin-to-clothing ratio and the processing of bodies with suggestive postures?

Experiment 1 showed that bodies with suggestive postures were processed configurally regardless of skin-to-clothing ratio.

  3. The body inversion effect is typical of face/body recognition, while no inversion effect is typical of object recognition.
  4. The N170 amplitude is a reliable marker indicating that intact bodies are processed configurally.
  5. Sexualized bodies evoke larger and delayed N170s compared to nonsexualized bodies and faces.
  6. Women are less likely to be processed configurally.
  7. Skin-to-clothing ratio and posture suggestiveness cause cognitive objectification of bodies.
  8. Posture suggestiveness is the key driver of cognitive objectification.
  9. Bodies with non-suggestive postures are processed configurally and not objectified.
  10. Asymmetry-matched bodies displaying suggestive postures are processed less configurally and more cognitively objectified.
  • Posture suggestiveness drives cognitive objectification, not revealing clothing
  • Bodies displaying nonsuggestive postures are processed configurally and not objectified
  • Bodies displaying suggestive postures are processed less configurally, akin to objects
  • Experiment 1 showed that bodies with suggestive postures were processed configurally regardless of skin-to-clothing ratio
  • Experiment 2 revealed that bodies displaying nonsuggestive postures were processed configurally regardless of skin-to-clothing ratio
  • Experiment 3 showed that bodies with nonsuggestive postures presented in an asymmetric manner did not increase cognitive objectification
  • Bodies with suggestive postures presented in an asymmetric manner were processed less configurally and objectified
  • The neural correlates of cognitive objectification were studied in an ERP study on the body-inversion effect associated with sexualized bodies
  • The face and body sensitive N170 response is enhanced for nude bodies
  • Power, objectification, and recognition of sexualized women and men were studied

Test your knowledge on the cognitive processing and objectification of bodies with this quiz! Learn about the importance of configural information in objectification processes, the effects of posture suggestiveness on cognitive objectification, and the neural correlates of sexualized bodies.
