FACE RECOGNITION: A SPECIAL PROCESS,

Abstract

Four experiments analyzed the ability to distinguish and remember faces by comparing face and object recognition under several conditions. First, memory was tested for correctly oriented pictures and inverted ones. Second, it was tested for pictures presented for long and brief exposures. Third, subjects described pictures and later re-matched their own descriptions with the same pictures. Fourth, people with different brain injuries performed on a shorter version of the upright-inverted memory tests. In each of these cases, face recognition was different from object recognition, providing some evidence that face recognition may involve a face-specific process. (Author)
