The human face holds special significance as a visual source of social information. Adults
can detect faces twice as fast as other objects (Pegna et al., 2004) and can quickly and …

Faces are ubiquitous in our environment and convey information that is used extensively in
all social interactions. For example, human adults can easily classify faces on the bases of …

In the present article we review behavioral and neurophysiological studies on face
processing in adults and in early development. From the existing empirical and theoretical …

The neural systems underlying face processing must be able to rapidly and reliably register
and react to complex and dynamic facial displays and be amenable to cognitive control …

This article reviews the development of the face‐processing system from birth, during
infancy and through childhood, until it becomes the sophisticated system observed in adults …

Faces are arguably the most significant visual stimuli in children's social environment. Much
of children's adaptive social functioning relies on their success in extracting crucial …

This article reviews recent research findings investigating developmental prosopagnosia
(DP). Studies involving DP address the cognitive and neural basis of face processing. The …

In the first 20 years of life, the human brain undergoes tremendous growth in size, weight,
and synaptic connectedness. Over the same time period, a person achieves remarkable …

Adults are normally very quick and accurate at recognizing facial identity. This skill has been
explained by two opposing views as being due to the existence of an innate cortical “face …

Reflecting current neurophysiological findings, Nelson (this issue) proposes that some
inferotemporal cortical areas have the potential for specialization for face-identification, and …
