Visual word expertise: a study of inversion and the word-length effect, with perceptual transforms.

abstract：:Perception of intentions and dispositions of others is an essential ingredient of adaptive daily-life social behaviour. Dynamics of moving images leads to veridical perception of social attributes. Anecdotal observations in art, science, and popular culture indicate that dynamic imbalance can be revealed in static ima...
