What is special about face recognition? Nineteen experiments on a person with visual object agnosia and dyslexia but normal face recognition
In order to study face recognition in relative isolation from visual processes that may also
contribute to object recognition and reading, we investigated CK, a man with normal face …

Non-conscious face recognition in patients with face agnosia
D Tranel, AR Damasio - Behavioural Brain Research, 1988 - Elsevier

Can face recognition really be dissociated from object recognition?
We argue that the current literature on prosopagnosia fails to demonstrate unequivocal
evidence for a disproportionate impairment for faces as compared to nonface objects. Two …

Features and their configuration in face recognition
JW Tanaka, JA Sengco - Memory & cognition, 1997 - Springer
Tanaka and Farah (1993) have proposed a holistic approach to face recognition in which
information about the features of a face and their configuration are combined together in the …

When inverted faces are recognized: The role of configural information in face recognition
H Leder, V Bruce - … Journal of Experimental Psychology: Section A, 2000 - Taylor & Francis
The identification of upright faces seems to involve a special sensitivity to “configural”
information, the processing of which is less effective when the face is inverted. However the …
