Summary

We form impressions of strangers rapidly, readily and without needing to be prompted. Impressions created by facial cues are particularly pervasive, affecting society and the economy in a myriad of ways. This chapter will consider the role of age-related facial cues in forming impressions, by drawing on data-driven modelling of impressions of naturalistic faces. To achieve a broad perspective, we take a lifespan approach to evaluate how apparent age contributes to impression formation. Future research should focus on developing large-scale longitudinal and diverse databases of face images.
