Dissemble GRE Vocabulary Flashcard

/dɪˈsem.bļ/ (verb)

to hide or conceal your real feelings or intentions, prevaricate, camouflage, put on false appearance, sham, mislead, pretend, act, masquerade, mask, cover up, dissimulate, disguise, feign, keep a stiff upper lip

When we encounter someone we dislike, we may momentarily display a reflexive disgust expression, only to follow-up with a forced smile and greeting. Our daily lives are replete with a mixture of true and fake expressions. Nevertheless, are these fake expressions really effective at hiding our true emotions or dissembling? Here we show that brief emotional changes in the eyes can be successfully concealed by follow-up mouth movements (e.g. a smile).
