Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to explore how female and male participants used different cognitive strategies to arrive at the same correct answer on an emotion recognition paradigm. Specifically, in response to four different types of spontaneous facial expressions, females consistently showed more activity than males in the right anterior cingulate (both dorsal and ventral), and males showed more activity than females in the left putamen. The female activity in the prefrontal cortical areas may indicate an increased sensitivity to the spontaneous and holistic social/emotional content of the stimuli, whereas male activation in the basal ganglia may indicate more of an emphasis on visual identification of behavioral routines. On a broader level, the findings have implications for more applied communication contexts, such as physician-patient interactions or virtual reality representations, in which the pattern and timing of nonverbal cues is known to be extremely important.
