Abstract
⺠Task: Participants viewed gender-stereotype consistent and inconsistent targets while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. ⺠Incongruent targets increased activity in person perception network. ⺠Increase was modulated by perceivers' processing goals. ⺠Expectancy violations also enhanced effective connectivity of perceptual areas with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. ⺠Conclusion: Stereotypic beliefs shape the formation of person percepts in the brain.
