Infants are thought to be able to detect faces at less than 1 hour old just over 1 hour old 1 day old 2 days old( less than 1 hour old, just over 1 hour old, 1 day old, 2 days old ) and able to discriminate between faces at 2 days old 1 hour old 1 day old 6 months less than 1 day old( 2 days old, 1 hour old, 1 day old, 6 months, less than 1 day old ).
The composite face effect describes...
When 2 halves of separate faces are processed as a whole new face.
How we have disproportional difficulty identifying inverted faces.
How we are better at identifying features of a face when it is in the context of a face.
Insert silly answer here.
The part-whole effect describes how...
When 2 parts of separate individuals faces they morph into one new face.
We are better at identifying parts of a face when they are shown in context of the original face.
When some faces are inverted we cant tell when part of the face like the eyes are also inverted.
How sometimes we decide to only eat part of the cake and sometimes we just eat the whole cake.
When attempting to recognise inverted objects and faces...
We are much better at recognising inverted faces than objects.
We are much worse at identifying inverted faces than objects.
We recognise both inverted faces and objects as easy as each other.
We struggle to recognise objects that are in the shape of an inverted face.
The cells that allow us to recognise and identify faces also extract expression information from the faces.
Are faces special?
Yes.
No.
Who cares.
Which of the following features are reliable for recgonising identity?
Hair
Chin
Ears
Eyes
Nose
Mouth
Can we get face adaptation?
Yes
No, its way too complex of a stimuli.
