Abstract

According to simulation or shared-substrates models of emotion recognition, our ability to recognize the emotions expressed by other individuals relies at least in part on processes that internally simulate the same emotional state in ourselves. The term “emotional expressions” is nearly synonymous, in many people’s minds, with facial expressions of emotion. However, vocal prosody and whole-body cues also convey emotional information. What is the relationship between these various channels of emotional communication? We first briefly review simulation models of emotion recognition, and then discuss neuroscientific evidence related to these models, including studies using facial expressions, whole-body cues, and vocal prosody. We conclude by discussing these data in the context of simulation and shared-substrates models of emotion recognition.
