Summary. This target paper focuses on the teaching of tests and psychological assessment, and presents the results of a short questionnaire on which tests and assessment procedures are presented to psychology students. The questionnaire was sent to AIP (Associazione Italiana di Psicologia) members giving at least one class on the topic of interest. The questionnaire was composed by two sections. The first section included general questions on the disciplinary sector of the class given by respondents, and on which psychological instruments were taught. The second section explored more in detail which typology of tests and instruments are taught in Italian universities. Results showed a low completion rate of the questionnaire, and a complex and scattered picture of the teaching of tests and assessment processes. This paper represents a starting point for the debate on this topic from other colleagues. This debate is particularly important given the incumbent transformation the laurea in psicologia as only requirement to practice as psychologist in Italy.

The line-motion illusion is a phenomenon due to the exogenous orientation of attention, in which an inducing stimulus rapidly presented at one extreme of a line determines an illusory movement toward the opposite extreme. Our aim was to verify whether emotional facial expressions as inductors can modulate the line motion illusion. 20 healthy participants were requested to judge the motion direction of a horizontal line, anticipated by one or two lateral faces expressing disgust, joy, anger or neutral. As expected, responses to unilateral cues were given in the expected direction. Unexpectedly, in the bilateral condition, we observed either a tendency to respond as if there was only the right inducer (pseudo-extinction phenomenon), or a difference between the expression of disgust and joy.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the processing of the emotional and non-emotional facial expression and facial features of unfamiliar faces in individuals with Asperger's syndrome (AS) and High-Functioning Autism (HFA). To this end, we tested 14 Adults with AS and HFA and 12 typically developing individuals, matched for age and education level, in a recognition task of faces in which internal features (e.g., eyes size), emotional and non-emotional facial expressions could or could not have been manipulated. Participants were asked first to undergo the recognition task and then a change detection task of the manipulation. Results show not only a face recognition impairment (lower accuracy) in the autistic group, but also a difference in the processing of facial changeable and unchangeable features, and between emotional and non-emotional expressions.

In the face processing models there is a dissociation between the recognition of emotional expressions and the recognition of personal identity. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible new dissociation for facial expressions, in particular between emotional facial expressions and non-emotional facial expressions i.e., expressions that don't have an affective meaning. To this end, the stimuli consisted of faces in which we selectively manipulated either the features, the emotional facial expressions, or the nonemotional facial expressions. Seventy eight students performed a same/different task and a change detection task on the stimuli in upright and inverted orientations. Each of the three different manipulations had a different impact on the inversion effect, suggesting a different modality to the processing of non-emotional facial expressions.
