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

Study Notes
- The face inversion effect disrupts our ability to exploit configural information.
- Configural information is important for objectification processes.
- The body inversion effect is typical of face/body recognition, while no inversion effect is typical of object recognition.
- The N170 amplitude is a reliable marker indicating that intact bodies are processed configurally.
- Sexualized bodies evoke larger and delayed N170s compared to nonsexualized bodies and faces.
- Women are less likely to be processed configurally.
- Skin-to-clothing ratio and posture suggestiveness cause cognitive objectification of bodies.
- Posture suggestiveness is the key driver of cognitive objectification.
- Bodies with non-suggestive postures are processed configurally and not objectified.
- 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
