The role of configural processing in face classification by race: an ERP study [PDF]
The current study investigated the time course of the other-race classification advantage (ORCA) in the subordinate classification of normally configured faces and distorted faces by race.

Differences in configural processing for human versus android dynamic facial expressions [PDF]
Humanlike androids can function as social agents in social situations and in experimental research. While some androids can imitate facial emotion expressions, it is unclear whether their expressions tap the same processing mechanisms utilized in human ...

Configural processing as an optimized strategy for robust object recognition in neural networks [PDF]
Configural processing, the perception of spatial relationships among an object’s components, is crucial for object recognition, yet its teleology and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Part-based and configural processing of owner's face in dogs. [PDF]
Dogs exhibit characteristic looking patterns when looking at human faces but little is known about what the underlying cognitive mechanisms are and how much these are influenced by individual experience.

Perceived Race Affects Configural Processing but Not Holistic Processing in the Composite-Face Task [PDF]
One explanation for the own-race bias in face recognition is the loss of holistic processing for other-race faces. The composite-face task (involving matching the top halves of faces when the bottom halves are either changed or the same) tests holistic ...

Configural but Not Featural Face Information Is Associated With Automatic Processing
Configural face processing precedes featural face processing under the face-attended condition, but their temporal sequence in the absence of attention is unclear.

Inversion Reveals Perceptual Asymmetries in the Configural Processing of Human Body [PDF]
Ambiguous human bodies performing unimanual/unipedal actions are perceived more frequently as right-handed/footed rather than left-handed/footed, which suggests a perceptual and attentional bias toward the right side of others’ body.

Behavioral and neural markers of visual configural processing in social scene perception
Research on face perception has revealed highly specialized visual mechanisms such as configural processing, and provided markers of interindividual differences –including disease risks and alterations– in visuo-perceptual abilities that traffic in ...

The Man Who Mistook His Neuropsychologist For a Popstar: When Configural Processing Fails in Acquired Prosopagnosia [PDF]
We report the case of an individual with acquired prosopagnosia who experiences extreme difficulties in recognising familiar faces in everyday life despite excellent object recognition skills.

Neurophysiological correlates of configural face processing in schizotypy
Background: Face processing impairment in schizophrenia appears to be underpinned by poor configural (as opposed to feature-based) processing, however few studies have sought to characterize this impairment electrophysiologically.
