Marie-Pierre Fayant
My work investigates how social stimuli—such as social objects, social context, or feelings—alter thinking. The first research line mainly examines how social stimuli shape cognitive and attentional processes. The second research line primarily studies how experiential information changes self-perception in social contexts. The third research line inspects the underpinning of experiential information effects on thinking.
