and the Translator of Emotion

Ackerman Institute for the Family
149 East 78th Street (Library)

What you can expect:

This presentation will introduce the participants to the purpose and intent of motion in humans, and it will discuss the impact of mobility in the way observers perceive emotionality and cognition. The presentation will look at the studies of facial expressions including the work of Guillaume Duchenne in 1862, and the current investigations into what happens when there are Movement Differences at work. The goals for this presentation are:

• To learn the role of movement as a visible marker of developmental progress
• To understand the connection between mobility and cognition
• To discover the effect of emotions on facial expression
• To analyze what happens when movement conveys unclear messages
