The Composite Face Effect Between Young and Older Chinese Adults Remains Stable [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Holistic face perception is often considered to be a cornerstone of face processing. However, the development of the ability to holistically perceive faces in East Asian individuals is unclear. Therefore, we measured and compared holistic face processing

Modulation of the composite face effect by unintended emotion cues [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 When upper and lower regions from different emotionless faces are aligned to form a facial composite, observers ‘fuse’ the two halves together, perceptually.

Composite Face Effect Predicts Configural Encoding in Visual Short-Term Memory [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 In natural vision, visual scenes consist of individual items (e.g., trees) and global properties of items as a whole (e.g., forest). These different levels of representations can all contribute to perception, natural scene understanding, sensory memory ...

Electrical stimulation over bilateral occipito-temporal regions reduces N170 in the right hemisphere and the composite face effect. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that can modulate cortical excitability. Although the clinical value of tDCS has been advocated, the potential of tDCS in cognitive rehabilitation of face ...

Early Deafness Increases the Face Inversion Effect and Does Not Modulate the Composite Face Effect [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Early deprivation in audition can have striking effects on the development of visual processing. Here we investigated whether early deafness induces changes in holistic/configural face processing.

Persistent task-specific impairment of holistic face processing in acquired prosopagnosia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFace recognition deficits observed in Acquired Prosopagnosia are typically associated with impaired holistic processing. Nonetheless, whether this deficit is task-dependent, face-specific, and persistent over time has been under investigated. The present

Vision, 2023 Theories of holistic face processing vary widely with respect to conceptualizations, paradigms, and stimuli. These divergences have left several theoretical questions unresolved. Namely, the role of attention in face perception is understudied.

Investigating holistic face processing within and outside of face-responsive brain regions
NeuroImage, 2021 It has been shown that human faces are processed holistically (i.e. as indecomposable wholes, rather than by their component parts) and this holistic face processing is linked to brain activity in face-responsive brain regions.

Prolonged visual experience in adulthood modulates holistic face perception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Using the well-known composite illusion as a marker of the holistic perception of faces, we tested how prolonged visual experience with a specific population of faces (4- to 6-year-old children) modulates the face perception system in ...
