-> above chance level silent films showing interactions between familiar
and unfamiliar persons. Then, potential cues enabling such a
performance are searched for by analysis of familiarity effects on
interpersonal distance, touching gesture, visual and postural
orientation, and facial or manual movements expressing affiliation or
reticence. Finally, these observations are discussed in relation to
several underlying processes: learning of interaction rules,
involvement of an affiliative motivational system, and regulation of
arousal. The problem of assessing the directionality of the familiarity
effects is also raised. The second part of the paper addresses the
issue of non-verbal expression of recognition in subjects who show
impaired person recognition in the verbal modality. A pilot study
compares the behaviour of older institutionalised women, either normal I:
or suffering from senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type, during
conversations with a member of the medical team and with another
unfamiliar person. The methodological problems raised by the planning
DE of the experimental situation are discussed.
