How we recognize faces despite rotations in depth is of great interest to psychologists,
computer scientists and neurophysiologists because of the accuracy of human performance …

The movement of the face may provide information that facilitates recognition. However, in
mostsituations people who are very familiar to us can be recognized easily from a single …

It is generally accepted that unfamiliar faces are better recognized if presented in 3/4 view. A
common interpretation of this result is that the 3/4 view represents a canonical view for faces …

Configural/holistic processing, a key property of face recognition, has previously been
examined only for front views of faces. Here, 6 experiments tested front (0), three-quarter …

Although remarkably robust, face recognition is not perfectly invariant to pose and viewpoint
changes. It has long been known that both profile and full-face views result in poorer …

Four experiments are reported that investigated the effects of motion on face recognition by
comparing the recognition of moving, multiple static, and single static images of faces. The …

Individual faces vary considerably in both the quality and quantity of the information they
contain for recognition and for viewpoint generalization. In the present study, we assessed …

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 …

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 …

The variation among faces can be partitioned into two sources:(a) shape and (b) surface
reflectance. To compare the utility of shape and reflectance for face recognition, we created …
