Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the problem of the influence of occlusion of a particular part of the face on the perception of individual psychological characteristics of the person and his or her age. The findings of the experiment are consistent with the results of previous studies of the perception of human facial expressions on its separate fragments (Artemtseva, 2003; Barabanschikov, Boldyrev, 2007; Barabanschikov, Zhegallo, 2013), received on a different perceptual material – photographic images. We also consider the specificity of perception of the face of the person depicted in the portrait and discuss the similarities and differences between data obtained in our experiment and data obtained on different experimental stimulus material.
