Presenting a face stimulus upside-down generally causes a larger deficit in perceiving
metric distances between facial features (“configuration”) than local properties of these …

Acquired prosopagnosia varies in both behavioural manifestations and the location and
extent of underlying lesions. We studied 10 patients with adult‐onset lesions on a battery of …

It is well known that the integration of facial features into a holistic representation is
dramatically disrupted by picture-plane inversion. To investigate the nature of this …

Researchers have used several composite face paradigms to assess holistic processing of
faces. In the selective attention paradigm, participants decide whether one face part (eg, top) …

Selective impairment of face recognition following brain damage, as in acquired
prosopagnosia, may cause a dramatic loss of diagnosticity of the eye area of the face and an …

Although face perception is often characterized as depending on holistic, rather than part-
based, processing, there is behavioral evidence for independent representations of face …

Previous research suggests that observers use information near the eyes and eyebrows to
identify both upright and inverted faces [Sekuler, AB, Gaspar, CM, Gold, JM, & Bennett, PJ …

A continuing question in the object recognition literature is whether surface properties play a
role in visual representation and recognition. Here, we examined the use of color as a cue in …

Face perception is often characterized as depending on configural, rather than part-based,
processing. Here we examined the relative contributions of configuration and parts to early …

A recent study hypothesized a configurational anisotropy in the face inversion effect, with
vertical relations more difficult to process. However, another difference in the stimuli of that …
