Two identical top halves of a face are perceived as being different when their bottom halves
belong to different faces, showing that the parts of a face cannot be perceived independently …

Despite many years of research, there has been surprisingly little progress in our
understanding of how faces are identified. Here I argue that there are two contributory …

Several studies investigated the role of featural and configural information when processing
facial identity. A lot less is known about their contribution to emotion recognition. In this …

In general, humans tend to first look just below the eyes when identifying another person.
Does everybody look at the same place on a face during identification, and, if not, does this …

We evaluate claims that the other-race effect in face memory reflects stronger holistic coding
of own-race than other-race faces. Considering evidence from a range of paradigms …

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 …

Several studies have shown that face identification accuracy is lower in older than younger
adults. This effect of aging might be due to age differences in holistic processing, which is …

Abstract Understanding the Face Inversion Effect is important for the study of face
processing. Some researchers believe that the processing of inverted faces is qualitatively …

This review examines the emergence and development of perceptual and social biases
towards own-race individuals. We first discuss evidence regarding the early emergence of …

We measured thresholds in a 1-of-10 face identification task in which stimuli were
embedded in orientation-filtered Gaussian noise. For upright faces, the threshold elevation …
