Haptic face recognition and prosopagnosia.
Cases of cross-modal influence have been observed since the beginning of psychological science. Yet some abilities like face recognition are traditionally only investigated in the visual domain. People with normal visual face-recognition capacities identify inverted faces more poorly than upright faces. An abnormal pattern of performance with inverted faces by prosopagnosic individuals is chara...
متن کاملHaptic Own-Face Recognition
This study investigated participants' ability to recognise a model of their own face from a series of distractor faces by touch. It also sought to discover whether or not an optimal stimulus orientation existed for the identification of target faces. Vision was found to differ significantly from each of the three haptic conditions (facing away from participant, facing towards participant, and l...
متن کاملNeural and genetic foundations of face recognition and prosopagnosia.
Faces are of essential importance for human social life. They provide valuable information about the identity, expression, gaze, health, and age of a person. Recent face-processing models assume highly interconnected neural structures between different temporal, occipital, and frontal brain areas with several feedback loops. A selective deficit in the visual learning and recognition of faces is...
متن کاملEye-movement strategies in developmental prosopagnosia and "super" face recognition.
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a cognitive condition characterized by a severe deficit in face recognition. Few investigations have examined whether impairments at the early stages of processing may underpin the condition, and it is also unknown whether DP is simply the "bottom end" of the typical face-processing spectrum. To address these issues, we monitored the eye-movements of DPs, typ...
متن کاملDissociations of Face and Object Recognition in Developmental Prosopagnosia
Neuropsychological studies with patients suffering from prosopagnosia have provided the main evidence for the hypothesis that the recognition of faces and objects rely on distinct mechanisms. Yet doubts remain, and it has been argued that no case demonstrating an unequivocal dissociation between face and object recognition exists due in part to the lack of appropriate response time measurements...
