Mäkäräinen et al. (2014) demonstrated that unnaturally exaggerated facial expressions were rated as more strange on increasingly humanlike faces.
“Consistently with H4b, one additional study (Mäkäräinen et al., 2014) in Table 5 demonstrated that unnaturally exaggerated facial expressions were rated as more strange on increasingly humanlike faces.”
From A review of empirical evidence on different uncanny valley hypotheses: support for perceptual mismatch as one road to the valley of eeriness (2015) · cites this paper as Mäkäräinen et al., 2014

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
