The Many Faces of Configural Processing

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2002
Adults' expertise in recognizing faces has been attributed to configural processing. We distinguish three types of configural processing: detecting the first-order relations that define faces (i.e. two eyes above a nose and mouth), holistic processing (glueing the features together into a gestalt), and processing second-order relations (i.e.

Configural Face Processing in Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia Research, 2009
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 ...

Configural Processing in Autism and Its Relationship to Face Processing [PDF]

open access: yesNeuropsychologia, 2006
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 ...

Holistic processing of face configurations and components.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2016
Although many researchers agree that faces are processed holistically, we know relatively little about what information holistic processing captures from a face. Most studies that assess the nature of holistic processing do so with changes to the face affecting many different aspects of face information (e.g., different identities).

Tolerance for Distorted Faces: Challenges to a Configural Processing Account of Familiar Face Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 2014
Face recognition is widely held to rely on 'configural processing', an analysis of spatial relations between facial features. We present three experiments in which viewers were shown distorted faces, and asked to resize these to their correct shape. Based on configural theories appealing to metric distances between features, we reason that this should ...

Face‐specific configural processing of relational information

British Journal of Psychology, 2006
Face processing relies on configural processing, which is thought to be particularly disrupted by inversion. We compared inversion effects in recognition experiments for three types of stimuli, using faces (Experiment 1) and houses (Experiment 2). Stimuli varied by their colour only ( colour )

Configural and Local Processing of Faces in Children With Williams Syndrome

Brain and Cognition, 1999
Three experiments investigated face processing in children with Williams syndrome (WS). In Experiment 1, the ability to discriminate different aspects of faces was compared between WS subjects and a group of children individually matched for chronological age (CA-matches) and another group matched for mental age (MA-matches).
