Face muscles play an important part in emotion expression, and they differ across people, resulting in even more variation in expression and facial characteristics. Faces are vital for consciously or unintentionally communicating emotion. A frown indicates disapproval, whereas a grin typically indicates happiness. “The essential basis for empathy and the capacity to assess a person’s emotions and forecast the possibility of succeeding behaviors” is being able to read emotion in another’s face.Duncan, J. et al. Orientations for the successful categorization of facial expressions and their link with facial features. J. Vis. 17, (2017).
Analyses were performed to investigate an effect of Condition (NM, SM, TM) on the re-identification scores with the aim of assessing the impact of the mask on the ability to remember a previously displayed face. For each participant we evaluated the percentage of correct answers by scoring each trial on a binary scale (1–0 points for each correct and incorrect responses, respectively). We ran a Kruskal–Wallis test considering the average scores for the three Conditions (NM, SM, TM). In case of significant effects, a Mann–Whitney tests (Bonferroni corrected) was applied as post-hoc test. The charity has written to each NHS trust’s CEO saying clear masks could be considered “a reasonable adjustment under the Equality Act”, and reminding them there are about 9 million people who are deaf or living with hearing loss in England. It said deaf people were struggling to communicate in medical appointments and at risk of serious consequences as a result. Nummenmaa, L. & Calvo, M. G.

Many cases of translucent skin simply occur due to genetics. If your father or mother have visibly pale or translucent skin, you most likely inherited it from them. Wood, A. & Niedenthal, P. Developing a social functional account of laughter. Soc. Personal. Psychol. Compass 12, e12383 (2018). Since the outbreak of coronavirus, people have told us continually that they are worried about communicating in health and social care settings where face masks are now in constant use. We know that clear masks have the ability to reduce barriers for both patients and staff across the NHS and social care services.
