Abstract	Visual hindsight bias, also known as the “saw-it-all-along” effect, is the tendency to overestimate one’s perceptual abilities with the aid of outcome knowledge. The present study investigated visual hindsight bias for facial stimuli. Experiment 1 adopted the visual hindsight bias paradigm from Harley et al. (2004) and replicated their findings with celebrity faces. Experiment 2 examined how emotional valence of facial stimuli (happy, angry, and neutral faces) modulated visual hindsight bias. Results provided evidence of hindsight bias for angry and neutral faces, but hindsight bias for happy faces was only observed in the difficult condition when the degree of emotional expression was varied in Experiment 3. These results suggest that the perceptual difficulty of facial expressions moderates visual hindsight bias. Implications and future directions are discussed.
