Exposure to the self-face facilitates identification of dynamic facial expressions : influences on individual differences . A growing literature suggests that the self-face is involved in processing the facial expressions of others . The authors experimentally activated self-face representations to assess its effects on the recognition of dynamically emerging facial expressions of others . They exposed participants to videos of either their own faces ( self-face prime ) or faces of others ( nonself-face prime ) prior to a facial expression judgment task . Their results show that experimentally activating self-face representations results in earlier recognition of dynamically emerging facial expression . As a group , participants in the self-face prime condition recognized expressions earlier ( when less affective perceptual information was available ) compared to participants in the nonself-face prime condition . There were individual differences in performance , such that poorer expression identification was associated with higher autism traits ( in this neurocognitively healthy sample ) . However , when randomized into the self-face prime condition , participants with high autism traits performed as well as those with low autism traits . Taken together , these data suggest that the ability to recognize facial expressions in others is linked with the internal representations of our own faces .
