Cutting and Kozlowski's experiment found that individuals are better at identifying themselves compared to others when looking at gait on a point-light display.[3]
In a point-light display, participants are presented with a static or dynamic visual that consists of small, circular light sources placed on the major joints that allow movement for humans. Although these lights are individual, participants are able to perceive motion in the dynamic visuals. [4]
Participants are able to recognize different emotions from the point light-displays. With special attention to body language, one can identify anger, sadness, and happiness. Also, gender is identifiable from these displays. [1]
