Configural processing has been considered the major contributor to the face inversion effect (FIE) in face recognition. However, most researchers have only obtained the FIE with one specific ratio of configural alteration. It remains unclear whether the ...
Bateson, Nettle, and Roberts (2006) provided an intriguing experimental paradigm for investigating the effects of social cues on cooperative behavior in a real-world setting. By placing an image of a pair of eyes on a cupboard door above an “honesty box” ...
Face processing in early childhoodAbstract. Whereas a holistic mode of processing in early childhood is postulated for non-facial visual processing, in the domain of face processing analytic processing is assumed. However, until now studies on the ...
Zusammenfassung. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, ob Säuglinge im ersten Lebensjahr Gesichter analytisch (anhand von einzelnen Merkmalen) oder holistisch (anhand der Gesamtkonfiguration) verarbeiten. Gemäß des sogenannten “Switch-Design“ nach ...
Object categorization processes during child development: Differences and commonalities with face processingAbstract. Previous research on face processing showed a developmental trend from analytic to holistic processing. This developmental trend was due ...
Factors influencing face recognition during the first year of lifeAbstract. Shortly after birth infants show a preference for faces over other visual objects and increasingly learn to discriminate and recognize different faces during the first year of ...
To learn whether the N170 would be differentially affected by orientation inversion of same- and other-race faces, we recorded event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in Caucasian and locally resident Asian subjects viewing upright and upside-down front-...
Repetition priming (RP) is the ability to recognize a stimulus more rapidly as a result of prior exposure to the item. Recent research examining the neuroanatomical basis of this effect has demonstrated RP for familiar faces presented to the right but not ...
The current research examined the intersection of social categorization and identity recognition to investigate whether and when one form of construal would dominate people’s responses to social targets. Using an automatic priming paradigm and ...
It has frequently been demonstrated that repeated presentation of a stimulus can result in facilitated processing of the item, an effect termed repetition priming. Questions remain, however, regarding the boundary conditions of this effect, particularly ...
Research participants’ sexual orientation is not consistently taken into account in experimental psychological research. We argue that it should be in any research related to participant or target gender. Corroborating this argument, an example study is ...
