Abstract

We investigated whether trait knowledge biases memory for other’s faces. Participants saw pairs of faces and traits. Later, they were shown movies of the previous faces morphing from trustworthy to untrustworthy. Faces were remembered as less trustworthy when paired with a negative, than when paired with a positive trait.
