Holistic Processing of Unfamiliar Line Patterns

Impaired holistic processing of unfamiliar individual faces in acquired prosopagnosia.

Prosopagnosia is an impairment at individualizing faces that classically follows brain damage. Several studies have reported observations supporting an impairment of holistic/configural face processing in acquired prosopagnosia. However, this issue may require more compelling evidence as the cases reported were generally patients suffering from integrative visual agnosia, and the sensitivity of...

Feature-by-feature comparison and holistic processing in unfamiliar face matching

Identity comparisons of photographs of unfamiliar faces are prone to error but imperative for security settings, such as the verification of face identities at passport control. Therefore, finding techniques to improve face-matching accuracy is an important contemporary research topic. This study investigates whether matching accuracy can be enhanced by verbal instructions that address feature ...

Holistic Processing of Faces 1 RUNNING HEAD: Holistic Processing of Faces Holistic Processing of Faces: Bridging Paradigms

Several sequential matching composite face paradigms are used to assess “holistic processing” of faces. In the Selective Attention paradigm, participants decide whether one face part (e.g., top) is the same as a previously seen face part. This judgment is affected by whether the irrelevant part is also the same or different. This failure of selective attention implies holistic processing. Howev...
