They way that it was viewed was the amount of stages enforced before correctly identifying the expression. This experiment was done independently and no explanation of the distinct objective or presumption was given Results: Correlational analyses was performed to calculate candidates sensitivity to different expressions which shows whether the candidate was similar in response to the first sad expression compared to the second and third expression.
