Feature and Configuration in Face Processing: Japanese Are More Configural Than Americans
Previous work suggests that Asians allocate more attention to configuration information than Caucasian Americans do. Yet this cultural variation has been found only with stimuli such as natural scenes and objects that require both featureand configuration-based processing. Here, we show that the cultural variation also exists in face perception—a domain that is typically viewed as configural in...
متن کاملConfigural face processing develops more slowly than featural face processing.
Expertise in face processing takes many years to develop. To determine the contribution of different face-processing skills to this slow development, we altered a single face so as to create sets of faces designed to measure featural, configural, and contour processing. Within each set, faces differed only in the shape of the eyes and mouth (featural set), only in the spacing of the eyes and mo...
متن کاملConfigural face processing in schizophrenia.
Evidence suggests schizophrenia patients may have problems integrating visual features into perceptual wholes using configural information. This deficit may impact on higher order socio-cognitive abilities such as facial emotion perception. Twenty-six schizophrenia patients and 26 age and gender matched healthy control participants completed a Fractured Faces Task which disrupted configural fac...
متن کاملConfigural processing in face recognition in schizophrenia.
INTRODUCTION There is currently substantial literature to suggest that patients with schizophrenia are impaired on many face-processing tasks. This study investigated the specific effects of configural changes on face recognition in groups of schizophrenia patients. METHODS In Experiment 1, participants identified facial expressions in upright faces and in faces inverted from their upright or...
متن کاملConfigural processing in autism and its relationship to face processing.
Studies of the perceptual performance of individuals with autism have focused, to a large extent, on two domains of visual behavior, one associated with face processing and the other associated with global or holistic processing. Whether autistic individuals differ from neurotypical individuals in these domains is debatable and, moreover, the relationship between the behaviors in these two doma...
