http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.09.017 0003-3472/© 2016 The Association for the Study of A Although growing neural evidence suggests that human and nonhuman primates share a similar faceprocessing mechanism, evidence from behavioural research has been mixed. If primates share a similar face-processing system, one would expect to observe similar behavioural effects in both human and non...

Automatic identification of familiar faces.

Much research has suggested that facial identification has some characteristics of automaticity, in that it is rapid, nonconscious, and mandatory. However, little research has tested whether it can occur even if attention is already devoted to the demanding central processes of another task. In the present study, we addressed this type of automaticity using the psychological refractory period p...

Newcomer joints old familiar faces.

akayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology that involves the aorta and its main branches, such as the innominate, carotid, subclavian, vertebral, and renal arteries, as well as the pulmonary and coronary arteries.1 This disease is more common in young females in Asia, Middle East, and Middle and South America than in Europe and North America. TA has 2 stages: an acute, “...

Neural systems for recognition of familiar faces.

Immediate access to information about people that we encounter is an essential requirement for effective social interactions. In this manuscript we briefly review our work and work of others on familiar face recognition and propose a modified version of our model of neural systems for face perception with a special emphasis on processes associated with recognition of familiar faces. We argue th...
