Configural Face Processing Develops more Slowly than Featural Face Processing

Perception, 2002
Expertise in face processing takes many years to develop. To determine the contribution of different face-processing skills to this slow development, we altered a single face so as to create sets of faces designed to measure featural, configural, and contour processing.

Line Drawings of Faces Reduce Configural Processing

Perception, 1996
The highly specialised skill of face recognition found in humans is thought to be dependent on the processing of a combination of edge-based and surface-based information, and of single-feature as well as of configural information. An investigation was carried out into how the saliency of facial information differs between faces presented as line ...

Arguments Against a Configural Processing Account of Familiar Face Recognition [PDF]

Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2015
Face recognition is a remarkable human ability, which underlies a great deal of people's social behavior. Individuals can recognize family members, friends, and acquaintances over a very large range of conditions, and yet the processes by which they do ...

Configural Face Processing: A Meta-Analytic Survey

Perception, 2011
In the field of face processing, the configural hypothesis is defended by many researchers. It is often claimed that this thesis is robustly supported by a large number of experiments exploring the face-inversion effect, the composite face effect, the face superiority effect, and the negative face effect.

Face and body perception in schizophrenia: A configural processing deficit?

Psychiatry Research, 2012
Face and body perception rely on common processing mechanisms and activate similar but not identical brain networks. Patients with schizophrenia show impaired face perception, and the present study addressed for the first time body perception in this group.

The Development of Face Recognition: Featural or Configurational Processing?

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1994
Three experiments were conducted on the development of face recognition. Results of Experiment 1 showed, contrary to previous research, that young children can ignore featural information when it has no discriminative value and attend to the internal attributes of the face.

Configural processing of other-race faces is delayed but not decreased

Biological Psychology, 2009
The processing of other-race faces has been suggested to differ from own-race face processing with regard to the extent to which configural and/or holistic information is taken into account. We aimed at investigating the underlying mechanisms more precisely by applying event-related potentials (ERP).

Contact and other‐race effects in configural and component processing of faces

British Journal of Psychology, 2009
Other‐race faces are generally recognized more poorly than own‐race faces. There has been a long‐standing interest in the extent to which differences in contact contribute to this other‐race effect (ORE). Here, we examined the effect of contact on two distinct aspects of face memory, memory for configuration and for components, both of which are better

An investigation into component and configural processes underlying face perception

British Journal of Psychology, 1984
The nature of the processes underlying face perception was examined in two different paradigms using the same set of stimuli varying on three dimensions of two values each. In a simultaneous matching task, both latencies and errors were found to decrease as the number of differences between stimuli increased.

Face perception in high-functioning autistic adults: Evidence for superior processing of face parts, not for a configural face-processing deficit.

Neuropsychology, 2006
Configural processing in autism was studied in Experiment 1 by using the face inversion effect. A normal inversion effect was observed in the participants with autism, suggesting intact configural face processing. A priming paradigm using partial or complete faces served in Experiment 2 to assess both local and configural face processing.
