Holistic processing, a hallmark of face perception, is often measured in the so-called
composite paradigm, in which participants are asked to match part of a stimulus while …

Two experiments were conducted to determine the contributions of the face and object
systems to the recognition of upright and inverted faces. In Experiment 1, CK, a person with …

Verifying that a face is from a target person (eg finding someone in the crowd) is a critical
ability of the human face processing system. Yet how fast this can be performed is unknown …

Facial information is processed interactively. Yet, such interactive processing has been
examined for discrimination of face parts rather than complete faces. Here we assess …

When we see the face of a familiar friend or colleague, there is a flash of recognition that
occurs instantaneously and without conscious effort. Introspectively, speeded recognition of …

When you see a person's face, how do you go about combining his or her facial features to
make a decision about who that person is? Most current theories of face perception assert …

One account of facial cognition, the dual-mode hypothesis, maintains that there are two
sources of information in a human face, featural and configural, and that these sources are …

The present study aimed to investigate whether human body forms–like human faces–
undergo holistic processing. Evidence for holistic face processing comes from the face …

The recognition memory for inverted faces is especially difficult when compared with that for
non-face stimuli. This face inversion effect has often been used as a marker of face-specific …

Recent studies have shown that same‐race (SR) faces are processed more holistically than
other‐race (OR) faces, a difference that may underlie the greater difficulty at recognizing OR …
