Perceptual Information for the Age Level of Faces as a Higher Order Invariant of Growth.

Pittenger, John B.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v5 n3 p478-93 Aug 1979

Previous work supports the hypothesis that cardioidal strain offers a plausible mathematical model for the perceived changes in human craniofacial morphology due to growth. In two experiments, cardioidal strain caused changes in the perceived age of nonhuman profiles similar to those produced on human faces in earlier work. (Author/MH)
