Adults' expertise in recognizing faces has been attributed to configural processing. We
distinguish three types of configural processing: detecting the first-order relations that define …

This article reviews behavioral and electrophysiological studies of face processing and
discusses hypotheses for understanding the nature of face processing impairments in …

Some dictionaries still define cognition as the power or faculty of apprehending and
knowing, a usage that harks back to the days when philosophers attributed all mental …

By 1985 newly devised behavioural and electrophysiological techniques had been used to
track development of infants' acuity, contrast sensitivity and binocularity, and for clinical …

A key goal of computer vision researchers is to create automated face recognition systems
that can equal, and eventually surpass, human performance. To this end, it is imperative that …

Faces are perceived holistically, a phenomenon best illustrated when the processing of a
face feature is affected by the other features. Here, the authors tested the hypothesis that the …

Face perception is considered a remarkable visual ability in humans that is subject to a
prolonged developmental trajectory. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, mask-wearing …

Historically, it has been argued that face individuation develops very slowly, not reaching
adult levels until adolescence, with experience being the driving force behind this protracted …

Background: People are better at recognizing faces of their own race than faces of another
race. Such race specificity may be due to differential expertise in the two races. Method: In …

Adult expertise in face processing is mediated largely by neural networks in the right
hemisphere. Here we evaluate the contribution of early visual input in establishing this …
